Ekta to target Big B next
Even as people are touting The Dirty Picture as one of the “fastest” superhits in Bollywood, the restless and ever-ambitious Ekta Kapoor is already planning her next move, which is to make a film with the industry’s most coveted Amitabh Bachchan.
“There is no one in the industry who doesn’t want to work with Mr Bachchan. He is a living legend and I admire him,” she says. “I want to make him a solid offer, approach him with a stellar script, something that will convince the actor in him to take up the project. He is too big, and I don’t want to approach him with anything mediocre.”
Undoubtedly, the mega success of The Dirty Picture has made her ambition even more fierce. In the past too, she has tasted decent success with films such as Love, Sex, Aur Dhoka and Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai.
But she clarifies that she has no intention of becoming the numero uno producer in Bollywood, unlike the stature, she enjoys in the small screen realm. “The euphoria surrounding The Dirty Picture hasn’t waned from my mind yet. I want to keep doing this — understand the pulse of the audience and keep making good cinema,” says the producer, who believes that maintaining one’s success levels is the real challenge.
Way to go Ekta!
