Shyam Benegal shifted from his 'kind of cinema' to come up with the successful comedy "Welcome to Sajjanpur" and the veteran director says he will  stick to a satirical theme for his next venture too.The prolific filmmaker, who is always ready to discover every facet of society with his visual medium, says he will soon finalise the script of his next comedy venture, the shooting for which will start next year."You will again see a comedy film from my side as entertaining as 'Welcome to Sajjanpur'. I will soon be finalising the script for it," he said.Benegal received rave reviews for "Welcome..." and that is what prompted him to go for another satire. "Success is always welcome when you have put in so much effort. It always works as fresh air for you and provides confidence to meet other challenges," he says.The national award-winning director, who made his debut with "Gher Betha Ganga" in 1962 and shot to fame with the Shabana Azmi-starrer "Ankur" in 1973, has also acted in the successful film "Nishant" in 1975.Known for making serious movies like "Nishant", "Manthan" (1976) and "Bhumika" (1977), Benegal has no plans of quitting "his kind of cinema", but wants to give it a break. "I am not quitting serious cinema as this is from where I have started my journey, but I just want to give it a break," he says. "For the last few years, I was trying to do something different," he says.Benegal also expresses satisfaction over the way regional cinema is shaping these days in the country and says it is a good sign as it is getting its due share. "Regional cinema is getting its due share, which is appreciable and I wish all success to the industry. I want more and more regional films should be made," he said. (Agencies) ... read more »
