Priyadarshan
who
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Hungama
2,
recently
also
announced
a
new
project
with
Akshay
Kumar.
The
filmmaker
whose
greatest
hits
include
Hulchul,
Garam
Masala,
Hera
Pheri,
Malamaal
Weekly
and
more
has
also
hinted
that
he
is
working
on
Hulchul's
sequel.
The
filmmaker
during
an
interview
said
that
if
he
would
return
to
any
of
his
90s'
hits
it
would
be
the
2004
release
Hulchul
starring
Akshaye
Khanna,
Kareena
Kapoor,
Paresh
Rawal
and
more.
He
told
Free
Press
Journal,
"Definitely
Hulchul,
it's
one
of
my
biggest
hits.
I
have
an
idea
in
mind,
but
I
am
waiting
to
see
how
people
react
to
Hungama
2
and
accordingly,
I
will
plan
Hulchul
2."
However,
Priyadarshan
has
not
only
given
Indian
cinema
some
great
comedies
but
also
great
dramas
in
languages
like
Malayalam,
Tamil,
Telugu,
Hindi
including
Aakrosh,
Kanchivaram,
Oppam,
Sometimes,
Anamika
and
the
upcoming
release
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham.
Talking
about
his
contribution
to
Hindi
films,
the
filmmaker
said,
"I
have
made
95
films
of
which
27
were
in
Hindi.
In
fact,
I
have
directed
the
maximum
Hindi
films
after
David
Dhawan,
more
than
Raj
Kapoor
or
Yash
Chopra.
It
wasn't
planned,
it
just
happened.
Yes,
it
took
a
lot
of
effort
but
I
don't
grudge
that
because
the
experience
was
always
enjoyable
and
that
joy
has
taken
me
forward."
He
emphasised
that
he
does
not
make
films
for
intellectuals
but
common
people
who
are
looking
to
get
entertained.
He
added
that
it
doesn't
bother
him
when
critics
give
him
one
star
and
if
the
film
does
perform
well
at
the
box
office.
"I
got
four-and-a-half,
even
five
stars,
for
Kanchivaram,
along
with
a
National
Award,
yet
the
film
flopped
while
there
was
so
much
criticism
for
Garam
Masala
and
Malamaal
Weekly,
but
they
were
big
hits.
I
don't
make
films
for
intelligent
people.
I
make
films
for
the
common
man
who
wants
to
laugh
when
in
the
theatre
and
go
home
happy,"
he
explained.
