&quot;Today, if you ask me if I would want to make film like &#39;Dhobi Ghat&#39;, I would think again about it,&quot; she said stressing on the point that the country needs right infrastructure to showcase off beat movies. <img alt="" src="http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2011/feb/Kiran-Rao.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 574px; " /> &quot;There&#39;s need to have arthouse cinema (theatres) to show films that are not necessarily popular in content because I think venues like this will help understand that language of such kind of cinema,&quot; said Rao, who was at the 12th Osian&#39;s-Cinefan Film Festival Monday for a panel discussion of her film 2010 film &quot;Dhobi Ghat&quot;. &quot;I think the India is getting opening up to such films and slowly the audience is also increasing,&quot; she added.u00a0She was accompanied by the cast and crew of the film. Rao considers herself lucky that her offbeat film got a colossal release, but agrees that usually such films struggle to find a place in multiplexes. &quot;Multiplexes isn&#39;t the way it is made out to be. At the end of the day, they believe in profit sharing. If I as a filmmaker take a very radical subject, which might not get an audience in the first week, multiplexes wouldn&#39;t agree to let it play on their screens. They would throw me out in the very first week,&quot; said Rao. &quot;They would not keep me until they get at least 40 percent of the audience. So the films that take risks isn&#39;t the right choice for multiplexes. But I am fortunate that I make a film the way I want it to be and I even got the release that I wanted it to be,&quot; she added. u00a0
