Mumbai: Filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor is proud that in his journey of more than 20 years, he has stuck to his movie making conviction, never succumbing to mainstream pressure. Nagesh made his directorial debut in 1998 with Hyderabad Blues and has since helmed critically acclaimed films like Rockford, Dor, Iqbal and Dhanak. The director-actor describes his journey as a good run with "superb high and god-awful lows."
"To be around for 22 years isn't a big deal. There are lots of directors like that. But if I am still doing my own thing after all these years, it shows my conviction is intact. I can take that to my grave happily." In an interview with PTI, the director says it isn't that his struggle to tell the stories he believes in has reduced. "It is always going to be difficult if you don't play the game and cast the stars. But it is a path that I have chosen. So I don't say this with any bitterness."
