With Jeo Baby, Avinash, Nelson, Karan Johar, Konkona Sen Sharma, Hemanth, Kartik and Vetrimaaran, Hemanth M Rao speaks on Rejection, Love in today's Generation and Direction tips. Here's what he said...
I wrote the script 12-13 years ago. Everytime I pitched it I was met with rejection because They were like no body is going to watch this. It doesn’t have the right elements to work commercially. I carried it with me all this while.
The demand of the job of a director is to ensure you don’t distribute the anxiety to others. You have to handle it and give a notion that you are in control. Because Actors don’t do well if it comes across like you don’t know what you’re doing.
To be as communicative and open yourself up to your team. And that sort of allows other people also to be vulnerable with you. To make something like that is a very beautiful process. And over a period of time you realize you don’t get everything right. And it’s okay.
The Thing that I've learned is you will have good days, and you will have bad days. There will be days where you feel really horrible about being a filmmaker and there are days where you feel you’ve trapped magic for eternity. You learn how to deal with that better, with time.
It’s far more experimental. People are more experimental than before. But the ethos in terms of what demands of you to be in love is the same. You have to be ready for pain. You have to be ready to be weak in front of somebody else. You cannot have walls.
