Abhishek said that even with Fitoor (which was an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations) and then Kedarnath, he attempted to tell completely different stories.
“That idea is the most important thing,” he added. Of course, it was about friendship, but it was a totally different setting, different texture.” Abhishek shared with every film that he works on, he wants to focus on the idea that is at the core of that story more than anything else. Based on Chetan Bhagat’s book The 3 Mistakes of My Life, Kai Po Che was set in a world that had nothing in common with the elite world of Rock On. Rock On (2008) won the National Award for Best Hindi Film.Ībhishek Kapoor also opened up about the leap that he took after the musical success of Rock On, as his next project was set in a different space altogether. “Other filmmakers might have a stamp wherein you know that this person makes his/her films in a certain way, but in my case, every time I find a new subject, I jump into it like an absolute newcomer,” he said. Abhishek explained that he does not like to repeat himself in his movies and believes that once he is done with a film, he “shuts the door” on the subject. Looking back at his filmography, it is fairly evident that no two films of the director are alike – if one is about a Hindi-Muslim love story set amid a natural calamity, the other is about the friendship between three boys amid rising political tensions. Ahead of the release of Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Abhishek spoke to about his cinematic journey so far, what his failures have taught him and why music plays an important role in his films.
