“I crafted the film for the ticket-paying audience at the grassroots. That community feeling, when an audience sits down to watch a film together, is incomparable. My characters are neither dignified nor righteous. But there was a core of innocence to them,” Acharya informed IANS.
“In the film, my attempt was to try to do mainstream the way I’d like to see it, to express the full-bloodedness of the masala movie. Very honestly, my action in ‘Tashan’ was a little orgiastic,” he added. The film features Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor.
