Imtiaz Ali: JAB HARRY MET SEJAL Wasn’t Intended To Be An Intellectual Masterpiece
| |||
Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma, has not really stood up to the expectations, mainly because it has been termed a film which doesn’t have an Imtiaz Ali flavor. Imtiaz, while promoting the movie, in his defense, said, “I am sure that a lot of people do not think that ‘Harry Met Sejal’ is an intellectual masterpiece, but I did not intend it to be one.” He further stated, “Some said you really need to be intelligent to understand an Imtiaz Ali film. For me that was a blow. I feel that I have never been part of any intelligent club. I wanted to make a very simple film with all my heart. I have not made this film for praise. You know I would like to be the director who can make different kinds of films. This one is made to reach the maximum number of people. Not to just get praise for myself.” “I have been a veteran at this. When ‘Tamasha’ released, lot of people praised the film but the film was not reaching the audience,” Imtiaz concluded.
