Patna: States like Bihar could emerge as a favourite destination for film-makers if the governments could devise policies that were sensitive to their needs and looked beyond providing subsidy for shooting, renowned movie director Anubhav Sinha said.
Known for critically acclaimed works like ‘Mulk’, ‘Article 15’ and ‘Thappad’, Sinha spoke to PTI in Patna, which he visited as part of a multi-city journey, which he likes to call “chal picture chalein”.
“I wanted to get a first-hand feel of the way the taste of the audience has evolved, following the rapid socio-economic and political changes seen across the country. One thing that I have realised during my journey is that it is a myth that viewers in the metros have likes and dislikes which are different from their counterparts in the smaller towns,” Sinha said.
