Kundan Shah wasn’t appreciated enough when he was alive says Manoj Bajpayee
Manoj Bajpayee who is currently gearing up for his upcoming film ‘Rukh’ in a promotional interview said, Kundan Shah wasn’t appreciated enough when he was alive.
Veteran director Kundan Shah, best known for the dark comedy "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro", died at his home early on Saturday. When Manoj was asked to express his views on the filmmaker’s work he said, “Kundan Shah was a unique director of our times. He was an amazing thinker. If you see his films like ‘Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro’, ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa’ and ‘Kya Kehna’ these were incredible films. They didn’t just belong to romantic genres or comedy but the film talked about things beyond it. They talked about social taboos and also questioned the unhealthy practices of our society. He never made a film only for entertainment; he gave important messages from his films.
The saddest part is that he wasn’t appreciated enough when he was alive. I think it’s something that always happens in Bollywood we don’t appreciate great talent when they are alive but we say great things after they have passed away.”
