I AM REALLY INEFFICIENT
R.Balakrishnan popularly known as R.Balki the director of hit movies like Cheeni Kum and Paa in a candid chat with HT City while his visit to Indian Institute Of Managament-Lucknow (IIM-L) on Tuesday afternoon.
While asking about what he really wanted to be except an ad maker or a filmmaker, Balki says I wanted to be a commentator in a cricket match, and will fulfill my dream some day if the audience bears my voice.
Balki who is also an ad maker with popular ads like Daag achche hai (Surf Excel), Jaago Re (Tata Tea) and What an Idea Sir Ji for (Idea Telecom) explain the difference between ad-making and filmmaking. He says, “Advertisements are executed much faster, while for a movie you need a lot of resilience.”
When asked the director about his up coming projects. He says, Yes we are going to release two new ads soon one for Bajaj Discover Bike and another for Britannia Tiger Biscuits. For movies he says, “No work on movies right now. I will make a movie but once within two years, because it takes a long time to write and execute it.”
His favorite movie is Moondram Pirai which is the Tamil version of the movie Sadma.In context of his visit to IIM-L, when we asked what management is, he says “You meet a lot of people everyday, listen to everyone, solve everyone’s problem this is what is management according to me.”
He adds he is really inefficient as a director and as an ad maker and would learn to have the enthusiasm and energy like these budding managers of IIM-L.
