Mover And Shekhar

|
He's a man who dreams big and
creates bigger. Zooming in on Shekhar Kapur who 'intends' to take India to the
world
There's no stopping Shekhar Kapur. Just when you thought he
had got it all with an Oscar nomination and projects with super stars, he
announces his mega project, 'Intent', a multi media conglomerate with spiritual
guru Deepak Chopra that would look at content from Asia. The man is
relentless...
With a heady dose of patriotism, Shekhar is truly our
man in Hollywood. It's time for Asian culture to dominate entertainment, feels
the maverick director. The reason? Asia, India in particular, is fast developing
financial biceps and it's time for Indian entertainment to follow
suit.
He's dreaming of a time when the hottest Hollywood star would
not be American but Chinese or better still, Indian! He's even predicted in a
'Guardian' article that Western dominance of cinema will be over in 10 years:
"No longer will we aspire to the West - the West will aspire to the East," he
tells us. Surprised? Shekhar isn't. He's a believer - one who believes in the
power of Indian cinema.
This is a man of surprising moves. A
one-time chartered accountant, he chucked a well paying job in the UK and
returned home to act! Short-sighted Bollywood didn't offer him much of a chance
in front of the camera though we are sure there was more to him than suave,
bearded charm. Think of him as the soft-spoken yet firm bureaucrat in 'Udaan'
and you get the picture.
