Yash Raj Films' Sultan is already a blockbuster and to decode the success of the film, director Ali Abbas Zafar had an interactive session with the students of Whistling Woods International (WWI) in Mumbai on Tuesday. The film was screened before the chat session. Zafar was also felicitated by eminent filmmaker and Founder and Chairman of WWI, Subhash Ghai.
The students floored Zafar with questions. On the lead actor of the film Salman Khan, Zafar said, “There are certain roles which are meant to be done by certain actors. A role only becomes iconic if you cast it well.” Zafar also pointed out that while writing the script, he wanted to create a character that everyone could identify with. And the take-off point for the movie was when he found that character, which embodied the very meaning of life.
While addressing the students, Zafar spoke of the importance of team dynamics while making a film. He told the students that filmmaking is a team sport and every one involved should follow the same vision. According to him, the most important equations which need to be taken care of are the ones between the director and the actor, and the director and his cameraman.
