“Festivals are more inside out, than outside in”

The Hindu  

Producer Siddharth Roy Kapur has seen the Mumbai Film Festival evolve in the last three years, ever since he joined the board of trustees. The 43-year-old’s Roy Kapur Films recently announced an association with Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd., wherein his production company will curate, develop, commission and creatively produce original digital video content for the Jio platform. Because of one’s workload, one hasn’t done as much film festival junking as one would’ve liked, but whenever I go to Cannes, Berlin or Venice for our films, I’ve tried to catch some other movies along with that. I can’t say I’m one of those people who’ve gone to film festivals purely to enjoy movies.
