K Balachander’s advice for current movie makers

K Balachander is a legend in filmmaking. He is the man who introduced two other legends Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan into cinema. Though he has grown old, he still seems to be in sync with the pulse of audiences. He was sharing his thoughts recently when he said that the movies should change from the regular commercial ventures.

He said that the need of the hour is more realistic movies. The script should be stronger and the characters should have more depth. He added that remakes were not a good idea and maintained that the emotional level of cinema should not be tested too much.
