Imtiaz Ali opens up about his dream project 'Radha and Krishna' love story: 'That time will come soon'

After the failure of 'Love Aaj Kal' and 'Harry Met Sejal', Imtiaz Ali has made a power-packed comeback with 'Chamkila' led by Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra. As anticipation around the filmmaker's next venture mounts, he has shared an update on his dream project, 'Radha and Krishna', announced in 2018. In an interview with News 18 Showsha, the director, for the first time, opened up about the epic love saga that was indefinitely stalled.

What Imtiaz Ali said:

The film is on the cards; however, the filmmaker says he needs to be in a position where he can imbibe the characteristics of Radha and Krishna to do justice to the project. He said, “I want to make the Radha Krishna film. I’m very inspired by their stories and the mythology. But I've got to bring myself to a position where I can make it, and by that, I don’t mean a physical position. It’s just that I need to imbibe some of the characteristics of Radha and Krishna in myself to be able to make that film."

Imtiaz highlighted that he's waiting for the right time to tell the poignant love story to the Indian audience, requesting fans to pray that it happens soon. “When I’m making a film like that, I can’t do it just like that. I need to get there somehow. That time will come, hopefully. To all those who want to watch this film, I would urge them to pray that I can make it,” he smiles.

Imtiaz Ali on 'Chamkila' success

The filmmaker also shared that he's thrilled after the overwhelming response to his latest release, 'Chamkila'. He explains, “I feel enthused by the fact that Chamkila has been liked. There were many things in the film that were risky. We used animation. Continuous shifts from live-action to animation may not have made any sense at all. The screen had translations of the songs coming up to explain their meaning.”
