Filmmaker
Ramesh
Sippy
who
is
well-known
for
giving
India
the
iconic
film
Sholay,
shared
his
take
on
pan-India
films
and
said
that
India
has
become
global,
as
the
youngsters
are
experiencing
new
cultures
and
learning
new
things.
When
asked
if
he
considers
Sholay
as
a
pan-India
film,
he
told
Hindustan
Times,
“If
it
means
appealing
to
a
wide
audience,
then
yes.
It
was
pan-Indian
in
sense
that
it
appealed
to
the
whole
of
India.”
He
further
said,
“Today,
India
is
also
global.
Our
youngsters
have
gone
out,
experienced
new
cultures
and
learnt
new
things.
So,
today
they
are
making
films
that
appeal
to
large
parts
of
audience
in
the
country.
They
are
dubbed
in
other
languages
in
the
country
and
they
are
being
quite
successful
too.”
While
the
last
few
years
saw
films
like
Baahubali,
RRR,
Pushpa,
KGF,
etc.,
setting
box
office
on
fire,
Sippy
feels
one
can
still
make
smaller
and
specialised
films,
because
there
is
an
audience
for
everything.
He
said
that
one
can
have
a
little
story
set
in
a
little
village
or
a
grand
story
with
a
large
reach,
but
it
needs
to
have
the
content
in
the
end.
If
that
works,
the
film
works.
Speaking
about
how
Bollywood
has
changed
in
the
last
five
decades,
Sippy
said
that
what
the
industry
was
fifty
years
back
and
what
it
is
today
is
a
different
ball
game.
“We
not
only
continue
to
have
films
and
television
but
now
there
is
OTT
as
well.
It
is
endless
today,
the
kind
of
opportunities
people
have.
I
watch
a
lot
of
work
in
the
long
format,
both
the
Indian
and
Western
shows.
I
keep
acquainting
myself
with
that.
As
a
production
house,
we
are
into
OTT.
But
as
an
individual,
I
haven’t
yet
found
something
worth
doing.
The
moment
I
find
something
interesting
and
exciting,
I
might
just
direct
it
myself,”
concluded
the
filmmaker.
