I cannot make a film as I wish: Anwar Rasheed

Ustad Hotel has been running to packed houses ever since its release, but its director has not got carried away by its success. He is calm and composed when he says that he is happy that his film has been accepted by both critics and audience alike.
���Three of my previous films were purely commercial ones. I have no qualms in saying that I respect the audience who come to watch such films; they are the ones who sustain the industry.It was through the segment Bridge in Kerala Caf��that I could prove that I am also capable of making another kind of film.���
However, the director says he cannot make a film completely according to his wish if he wants to survive in this industry. ���How my next film will shape up will depend on the revenue Ustad Hotel generates. We are not just creative people, but businessmen as well. So when we make a film, it should have a blend of aesthetic and commercial elements.���
