I don't love horror, I respect it as a genre.
I gravitate toward edgy, intense, dark films that just grab you by the throat.
'Satya' and 'Company' are two very dark and brooding relationship films; there was no hero.
I'm a big fan of British cinema; I think we make some unbelievably brilliant films, but they can quite often have a dark feel.
Lots of people expect 'Andhadhun' to be a dark film, given it's from Sriram Raghavan. But this film is fun, entertaining, thrilling, and while it has moments of darkness, overall it's not a dark film.
In the past, the movies I've made are perceived as dark, but a lot of comedies are way darker.
Well, life is dark. We live in a very dark world. When they call them "dark films" it annoys me, because they're very real stories. They're stories I have seen or experienced or witnessed, and coming from that place, that is the hope of humanity.
If I were given a choice between two films and one was dark and explored depraved, troubled or sick aspects of our culture, I would always opt for that over the next romantic comedy.
