Directors Karan Johar, Dibakar Banerjee & Anurag Kashyap Video Interview On ‘Bombay Talkies’ At Cannes

Bollywood directors Karan Johar, Dibakar Banerjee and Anurag Kashyap came together to film one movie with four different stories in Bombay Talkies. But they weren’t sure that they were going to be able to pull it off — especially landing mega-director Johar. “I was actually hoping that they would ask me,” Johar told Uinterview exclusively at the Cannes Film Festival, “and I said that if I immediately agreed, it would look like I was too eager.”

Bombay Talkies celebrates Indian cinema while also welcoming in a new and more modern era of cinema. The stories in the film — Star by Banerjee, Sheila Ki Jawaani by Zoya Akhtar, Murabba by Kashyap and Ajeeb Dastaan Hain Yeh by Johar, all tell emotional and powerful moral stories. Along with great directors, Bombay Talkies also joins together some of Bollywood’s brightest stars with special appearances from Farhan Akhtar, Katrina Kaif and Vidya Balan.

Bombay Talkies premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last week.
