In an interview to PTI, the filmmaker said, “Pathaan is as political as perhaps Faraaz, but the expression is different. The way it is done is different, the audience is different. All kinds of films need to be made. If my film has to be made then a Rohit Shetty film also should be made. A Pathaan has to flourish for my film to breathe. The industry is interdependent…A good film is a good film and it will reach the audience. And that is what Pathaan has proven. You cannot keep a good film and a good man down for too long. There are some really good films that didn’t find an audience. But then they found an audience on OTT or somewhere. Times are changing.”
Talking about the kind of cinema he believes in, Hansal said, “My intention is to gain a greater understanding of our world, of our times, to seek empathy for the people who suffer through this, through storytelling. The larger human empathy is for the people who go through this kind of ordeal. I will continue doing it. I approach my films with utmost sensitivity. I don’t judge my characters, I don’t pass judgments through the film, I explore them as human beings.”
Hansal’s latest film Faraaz, based on the July 2016 terror attack on a bakery in Dhaka, Bangladesh, has garnered rave reviews. The film stars Zahaan Kapoor, Aditya Rawal, Juhi Babbar and Aamir Ali.
