MUMBAI: Director is like a manager of a film, who incorporates the idea received from departments, says film director and producer Amit Sharma while addressing fellow and budding content creators at the fourth edition of The Content Hub 2020, an initiative by Indiantelevision.com.
Amit Sharma is the director of Ayushmann Khurrana-starring Badhaai Ho! and is currently directing Ajay Devgn for an upcoming project called Maidan, which is schedule for later this year.
Sharma, while guiding the content creators, shared his experience of filmmaking and believes that ‘NG cuts’ (not good cuts) are also sometimes useful for the film.
Sharma told the crowd that he has never liked reading a script and has always visualised a scene before taking a final shot. Sharma, being a keen observer, pointed out that it’s important to feel the film from the perspective of different departments involved in filmmaking.
Giving his mantra to the audience, Sharma said, “Being spontaneous and believing on gut feeling are the two basic fundamentals of my direction.”
Sharma started his career from very early age of 18 and had always wanted to become an actor. He has acted in at least 16-17 television commercials; however end up becoming a film maker. Moreover, Sharma also spoke about how he likes to play with the audience’s emotions in a good manner. “It gives satisfaction to him, when audience leave theatres with a smile on their face or teary eyed,” he added.
