I find panic is a huge form of creativity. When I, for example, shoot a film, I plan like a general going to war because you never know where the bullet is coming from. And then when I get to the set\u2026 suddenly, you\u2019re faced with 200 people that say, give us the next shot. I don\u2019t know what to say. Because by that time, I\u2019ve convinced myself that I don\u2019t know,\u201d Kapur stated. \u201cI\u2019ll go to Cate Blanchett and say \u2018What would you like to do?\u2019 and she\u2019ll say, \u2018Shekhar, you\u2019re doing it again. You don\u2019t know, do you?\u2019 \u2018I say no, I\u2019ve no idea what to do. So why don\u2019t you start? And I\u2019ll find out,&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cYou can\u2019t plan for that moment because the moment hasn\u2019t happened? How can you plan for that which does not exist. And so the moment has to tell you something,\u201d Shekhar Kapur added. \u201cThere\u2019s constant conversation about \u2013 is anxiety necessary for creativity? Is anxiety necessary for you just to take the next step? I don\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe filmmaker stated that he feels responsible as a result of his daughter went by means of \u201ca lot of anxieties\u201d and that her dad and mom didn\u2019t deal with their separation nicely. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/kaveri-kapur\/\" id=\"auto-tag_kaveri-kapur\" data-tag=\"kaveri-kapur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaveri Kapur<\/a> stated, \u201cI struggled with my mental health a lot. It actually started when I was a kid and I don\u2019t think we recognized it until it was so strong that we didn\u2019t have a choice, but no, I don\u2019t think you should blame yourself for it.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tShekhar Kapur is launching Kaveri as an actor in <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/film\/asia\/shekhar-kapur-masoom-sequel-theme-1235661063\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cMasoom\u2026 The New Generation,\u201d<\/a> a observe as much as his 1983 directorial debut \u201cMasoom.\u201d \u201cI think you have the most honest explorations of human nature. And to me, that\u2019s what fascinated me about acting. That\u2019s why I get so excited. It just feels like I\u2019m discovering human nature and what drives us and the dark parts of us and I think that you explore that in the most realistic way possible I have ever seen,\u201d Kaveri Kapur instructed her father. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cAs a father this is one of my concerns, because she keeps telling me about the dark side, keeps writing about the dark side,\u201d Shekhar Kapur stated. \u201cI get like, \u2018Oh my God, my daughter is obsessed with the dark side.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019m not obsessed with the dark side.

It\u2019s just very much a part of our reality,\u201d Kaveri Kapur replied. \u201cIt\u2019s fascinating and it brings another layer to my life and my art and it would be dishonest of me to not explore it and talk about it. Because we are dark and light, it\u2019s just as much of a part of us as as things that are happier, enjoyable and easier to digest.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] One of the highlights at India\u2019s Cinevesture International Film Festival and market was a frank, philosophical on-stage chat between veteran filmmaker Shekhar Kapur and his singer-songwriter-composer daughter Kaveri.
