Mumbai, Oct 19 (NationPress) Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, who previously announced his journey to explore smaller towns and cities across India, recently found himself enchanted by the royal charm of Jaipur.
On his Instagram, the filmmaker shared an array of photos capturing his experiences in the capital of Rajasthan. Alongside the visuals, he crafted a heartfelt caption expressing his admiration for how Jaipur has meticulously blended its rich heritage with contemporary life.
He remarked, “Many state capitals evolve into bustling metropolitan areas, leaving their traditions and histories behind. Jaipur, however, harmoniously intertwines modernity and its historical essence. The locals hold their cultural heritage and mutual respect in high regard.”
He added, “You can find an Indian Coffee House alongside a Varahi, the iconic Raj Mandir beside PVR, and a vibrant walled city next to modern glass structures. One could write volumes about the local cuisine and the warmth of hospitality. It was truly an experience to cherish.”
Previously, the acclaimed director known for films like ‘Mulk’, ‘Thappad’, and ‘Bheed’ shared a video outlining the purpose of his tour to India's smaller towns. He mentioned his aim to engage with cinema lovers and understand the growing disconnect between film demand and supply.
He explained, “For years now, every Friday, as new films hit theaters, a new narrative emerges in the Hindi film industry—especially in Mumbai, known as Bollywood. There's a growing theory about what type of films will succeed or fail. The gap in communication among filmmakers, directors, producers, and audiences is unprecedented.”
Moreover, he noted that he frequently observes audience reactions on social media platforms, feeling that the ability to communicate effectively has significantly diminished.
“In Mumbai, there are two groups of people. One includes those native to the city, regardless of their ethnic background, having grown up here. Then there are individuals like me, who have migrated from smaller towns over the past few decades,” he concluded.
