Madaari director Nishikant Kamat says he will work on a romantic movie next, a departure from the hard-hitting drama starring Irrfan Khan.
“I want to reinvent myself, so I am taking break for six months. I have not even taken a Sunday off in the last few years, so I need to slow down. Right now it’s a sabbatical for me and then I will start with my romantic film,” Kamat said.
As a director, Kamat has worked on films such as Mumbai Meri Jaan, Drishyam, Dombivali Fast and Force. He says he has unfortunately not made a film from a woman’s point of view.
Asked why all his films have been from a male perspective, he said: “During my theatre days, I have done all women-centric themes. I will make a women-centric film in the future because I know this is one question even I have asked myself.
“Probably I didn’t get the right script... It was such an honour to work with Tabu in Drishyam, but you need a substantial role for an actor of her calibre.”
Madaari is currently out in UAE cinemas.
