Film-maker Vivek Agnihotri, who is showcasing his film Buddha In A Traffic Jam at the 16th Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image (MAMI) film festival, Thursday said he was not looking for a commercial release for the film but has now changed his mind.
“We were not even looking for a release for this film ... we just thought of taking the film to different places but somehow the film shaped up very well. So I thought it’s a good film and we must do something about it. Of course, now we will commercially release it but let all this big ones release. It’s not easy to get a window here in India ... there are so many films releasing these days,” Agnihotri said.
The film features Mahi Gill, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi in the key roles.
About the subject of the film, Agnihhotri said: “This subject has bothered me for a long time. India has been a confused country ... there is no democracy in the entire world, you still have communists talking on channels. It’s a very interesting story, it’s a political satire. I think this film will leave a strong impact.”
