, who has enjoyed immense success in cinema and alike, believes that content is powerful these days and there is nothing wrong living in the grey.
Karan along with Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, the lead pair of his upcoming film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani', was interacting with students and mediapersons at an event as part of the 'India바카라s International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) Back To School' series.
When asked about cinema and OTT content influencing the young and impressionable minds, and redefining the cultural fabric of our society, Karan said, 바카라What a load question to begin with... I have to be critical to answer this from a honest place. I do believe that cinema is a reflection of society and vice-versa. Cinema also draws from the society, literally. Sometimes, let바카라s just say there is an exaggeration in Indian cinema, but a lot of situations depicted on celluloid are actually very close to reality.
바카라And as a filmmaker, I have only drawn from human observation. From the observation of the community that surrounds me, the society we live in, the people we interact with, it is very critical that you understand the syntax of your surroundings and only then as a writer or filmmaker you tell the story.바카라
The filmmaker added, 바카라Of course, some of us who have grown up in urban India have a certain understanding of those dynamics and relationships, and there are some others, who are privileged, have been exposed to the rest of India and who can tell those stories with equal abundance.
"I do believe that the content today is definitely broadening the human spectrum of relationships and pushing the envelope, by not sugar-coating it or doing puff pieces of love and romance. We are showing the grey areas, and you have to know, especially as students, that life is way beyond black or white.
"Walking the path of grey every day, it is not a bad thing, because grey is the actual representation of your vulnerable side, of your true side. And I think whether it's OTT platforms or new-age cinema, all of them expose the vulnerabilities of human beings and that is the strength of our content today.바카라
Also starring Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi, 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' is slated to hit the theatres on July 28.
