MUMBAI: Aamir Khan may be the star of day two at the ongoing FICCI-Frames convention but it’s clearly Shekhar Kapur who’s hogging all the media attention. When he’s not talking ‘dreams’ on the dias, he’s busy shaking hands with awestruck delegates and when he’s not doing that, he’s patiently giving sound-bytes to the ever-enthusiastic media professionals. Result: anybody and everybody want a slice of the bigger pie and Kapur is only willing. |
Here are snatches of a quick q and a with Kapur: |
On Paani, his forthcoming project: |
Will it be in Hindi? |
On FRAMES 2003, so far |
Other noted filmmakers spoke: |
How’s FRAMES 2003 been so far? Govind Nihlani: It’s been an opening of minds, really. A give and take of ideas and a wide variety of issues being discussed. Somnath Sen: I have been here only today and it’s been an amazing session on "Can India make it-The Way Forward?"I must say that Shekhar Kapur inspired me a great deal. |

Media photographers trailing Aamir Khan like ants following their leader. The different, unusual ringing tones of mobile phones providing a break from monotonous speeches. Probably it was the India-New Zealand match yesterday that kept away from the film industry types at the Frames convention. Today however one saw many more faces at the seminar. |
