Won't make experimental films under pressure: Farah Khan

April 14, 2015 tarushi.c

Filmmaker Farah Khan, whose films are marked by dollops of dance, songs and melodrama, says she may make an experimental film like Kalki Koechlin- starrer "Margarita With A Straw" if she finds a "good script". However, she asserts she won't make it under any sort of "critics' pressure".

"If I love a script, I will surely make it," the "Happy New Year" director said here at a screening of "Margarita With A Straw".

"If I will get a script like this ('Margarita With A Straw') or I would feel that I can go for this script, then I would definitely make it. But I won't go ahead with it just because critics want me to make such films. I won't take that pressure on me," she added.

"Margarita With A Straw", directed by Shonali Bose, narrates the struggle of a cerebral palsy affected girl (played by Kalki Koechlin) with the normal activities in her life.

Not only the film, but Kalki also has garnered a lot of appreciation in the international circuit for her performance.

Based in the type of movies she makes is there really any expectation of her to make a meaningful film? She's trying to make it sound like she's sought after for critical films, and I think she's making things up.

Please Farah, no one wants you to make any type of films, let alone experimental ones.

I loved her OSO and MHN. HNY needed a better script. What's the use of big stars when script is weak.
