Bollywood filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee is currently gearing up for his next dark crime comedy film, Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2. In a recent interview, Dibakar emphasized the significance of skilled storytelling when dealing with complex subjects, highlighting the need for thorough scriptwriting, drawing from personal experiences, and extensive research to approach sensitive themes with respect. He noted that it seems unnatural when rich and privileged filmmakers portray the lives of poor, transgenders, folk singers and beggars.

Dibakar Banerjee on rich portraying the poor

During his conversation with ETimes, Dibakar said, “It becomes gimmicky when rich filmmakers sitting in their SUVs or high-end cars say, ‘I will tell the story of a poor person, transgender, folk singer, or a beggar.’ So ye tab hota hai jab gore gore log baith ke kaale kaale logo ke liye apni kahani banate hain.”

Talking about understanding one’s struggles, he added, “But when you are standing on the road, your shirt drenched in sweat, you are feeling a quench, you are waiting for your cab and then you see a beggar, or a folk singer, or a transgender who gets into prostitution for a living, it’s on that road, that the distance and gimmicks are reduced.”
