Mumbai, Oct 9 (NationPress) Filmmaker-producer Anubhav Sinha, who had previously revealed his intention to embark on a tour across India's small towns and cities, is heading to the city of Nawabs, Lucknow, this Friday.

On Thursday, Sinha shared a post on his Instagram Stories featuring a photo of himself along with the scheduled date for his visit to Lucknow.

He expressed his excitement in Hindi, stating, “I’m coming to your city Lucknow to learn about your Lucknow from you.” The date for his visit is set for October 10, 2025, and he urged his followers to sign up quickly, noting that attendance would be limited.

The acclaimed filmmaker, recognized for works like ‘Mulk’, ‘Thappad’, and ‘Bheed’, previously shared a video outlining the objectives of his tour through India’s smaller locales. He emphasized his desire to engage with cinema lovers and film consumers to grasp the significant disparity between the current demand and supply in the film industry.

In his video, he reflected, “For the past few years, every Friday brings new theories about what type of films will succeed in the Hindi film industry, especially in Mumbai, known as Bollywood. This ongoing dialogue has created an unprecedented communication gap between filmmakers, actors, and the audience.”

Sinha also noted that he observes a lot of audience feedback on social media platforms, suggesting that the depth of understanding in these conversations has significantly declined.

“In Bombay, there are two groups of people. Some are natives, while others, like me, moved here from smaller towns. I personally relate to these smaller cities. Hailing from Banaras and having studied in Aligarh, I am aware of their sentiments and aspirations. However, after revisiting Banaras, I realized how much it has evolved since I left 30 years ago. As a filmmaker, I recognize the need to understand what the audience truly seeks,” he concluded.
