They have been a learning process for me. I have come on my own and found the films that I want to tell. In &#8216;Mulk&#8217;, &#8216;Article 15&#8217;, &#8216;Thappad&#8217;, I found stories that struck a chord with me personally. I want to make movies that make people think and start discussions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Talking about his perception towards film in terms of nation building, he says, &#8220;Movies and popular culture have the power to shape attitudes. They send out a message that will be picked up by people. So yes, I am an entertainer. But I am not just an entertainer. I am a filmmaker who wants to leave you with a thought that&#8217;s played on my mind for far too long.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s such a strong thought that I have felt compelled to translate the story to screen. I want you to discuss casual sexism, caste disparity, Islamophobia and everything else that I am discussing with my family members, my peers. The next few years will be about pushing the envelope beyond, telling more power-packed stories and taking forward the agenda of creating cinema that hopes to do more than entertain,&#8221; he adds.<\/p>\n<p>With much-awaited films like &#8216;Anek&#8217; starring Ayushmann Khurrana, &#8216;Faraaz&#8217; directed by Hansal Mehta, his untitled quirky thriller with Sudhir Mishra amongst others, the director-producer is charting his own course of meaningful and entertaining cinema.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, who has completed a decade in films as a producer, feels that movies and pop culture can shoulder a major change in the society.
