Anubhav
Sinha
On
Facing
Flak
For
Ra.One
The
director
told
Mumbai
Mirror,
"I
have
been
relentless
these
pass
three
decades.
I've
fallen,
stood
up
and
fallen
again.
When
you
make
the
biggest
film
in
the
history
of
Bollywood,
Ra.One,
and
get
so
much
flak,
it
drains
you...
haunts
you
for
years.
I
was
exhausted
physically
and
emotionally.
So
I
am
actually
happy
doing
nothing."
'People
Hated
Me
Because
I
Made
This
Film
With
Shah
Rukh
Khan
In
another
interview
with
Indian
Express,
Anubhav
said,
"When
Ra.One
released,
it
disappointed
50-70
per
cent
of
those
people,
and
they
hated
me
because
I
had
made
this
film
with
Shah
Rukh.
But
they
had
never
even
met
me.
Post
this
incident,
when
I
met
new,
intelligent
people,
they
‘complimented'
me
saying
you
are
not
the
person
who
made
those
films,
you
are
someone
else.
This
was
heartbreaking
to
hear.
Because
if
I
don't
reflect
in
my
own
films
then
I
am
not
a
filmmaker.
That
was
the
discontentment
I
felt
and
recognised.
And
then
Mulk
happened.
And
ever
since
then
I
have
been
driven
by
that.
In
fact,
even
when
Mulk
happened,
nobody
was
willing
to
pay
me
money
to
make
the
movie.
It
wasn't
until
a
month
of
the
shoot
that
Deepak
Mukut
(co-producer
of
Mulk)
came
on
board."
Anubhav
Sinha
On
Shooting
In
Present
Conditions
"I'm
not
bullish
about
shooting
soon.
For
the
next
year-and-a-half,
shoots
will
become
slower
and
at
least
20
per
cent
more
expensive
since
a
lot
of
money
will
be
spent
on
protecting
the
people
who
work
with
you.
Social
distancing
on
a
film
set
Is
an
oxymoron.
It
can't
happen,
it
won't
happen.
We
can
keep
lying
to
ourselves
though," he
told
Mumbai
Mirror.
Anubhav
Sinha
On
His
Next
Film
With
Ayushmann
Khurrana
The
Thappad
director
revealed
that
his
next
film
is
with
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
and
'it
will
be
bigger
in
its
scope
and
what
it
can
change'.
However,
Anubhav
added
that
he
is
in
no
hurry
to
begin
shooting
for
the
project
amid
the
Novel
Coronavirus
pandemic.
