The director is known for tackling powerful personalities head-on with his films and seems to have no qualms about the resulting consequences. He has always been a pro-future filmmaker, with some examples being his support for digital filmmaking. Speaking about the rise in the number of new filmmakers, he says, “Earlier, there were fewer resources or access to proper filmmaking tools but anyone can be a filmmaker today. Cinema becomes an expression-oriented medium when it’s more accessible. It is no longer a template where only a few people are the decision-makers behind the kind of films getting made. Then, the best among them will survive.”
RGV has also produced many films helmed by new directors. He reveals that he has a creative incubator called the Den, which attracts like-minded talents. “Every film comes from an idea,” says RGV while describing the Den, “The idea turns into a film like a seed turns into a tree. I give simple ideas and attract the right talent to collaborate and turn them into a film. My intention is not to give a break to that person, but to make a film happen. I am not here to make his dreams come true. I don’t care for anyone else’s dream except mine.”
