Dunki, now streaming on Netflix! pic.twitter.com/XJp7F74th2Commercial success does matter but filmmaker can't focus on it and let it colour their vision, 'Dunki' director Rajkumar Hirani said in an interview to PTI in December last year. Hirani said he was happy that people have praised his efforts to tell a human story at a time when audiences are flocking to action movies.
"Of course, commercial success matters to me but I try not focus on it at all because the moment you start focusing on it, then you start colouring the kind of film you want to make...,” Hirani told the news agency in a Zoom interview.
"I take three or four years to make a film. This time I took five years to make a story. It should be like... let me make this film whatever the fate of the film is. Sometimes you will get a universal audience, sometimes you will get an audience which is in smaller pockets. India is a massive country and there will be all kinds of audiences liking all kinds of films," Hirani said.
