In an invterivew, the National Award-winning filmmaker said that even though it would be difficult to make films in today's time, one has to remain undeterred by certain hiccups and focus on their work.

"Cinema is a process and a part of our social thoughts. Just like books, poetry, songs and speeches, cinema also holds the power to change a few things. The process must go on, whether a cinema makes a difference or not is another thing... At least, it keeps the cauldron boiling which is necessary."
