<span class=normal>When you say a wider audience, your first film did just that.<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>True! My first film Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein is perceived by the media and audiences to be a super hit. When my fans meet me, they always talk about that film. In their minds, its a hit. But the fact is that at the box office, it was a dud - a disaster. The film has gone on to gain a sort of cult status. The music is still heard and people who were ten and fourteen then still listen to the music now. Its one of the highly viewed movies on televsion. The TRPs are high. There are many good films that dont do well at the box office.<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>And Born Free wants to strike gold someday at the box office, isnt it?<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Its all about perspective and how you set out to do it. When Born Free was put together, it was put together with the thought that we want to have creative freedom and make what we believe in. We want to go out there and put our stories into the world and we want to do it a certain way. The triumph for us is that we did just that in our first film. There are so many who keep struggling to make a film that they want to because of certain pressures. Yes, we didnt strike gold at the box office but maybe we want for the next ten. But will we be embarrassed with the films we make? Never! <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>What now? Any announcements?<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>We at Born Free have invested our last six months in scouting, reading, reading, reading, meeting, meeting, meeting. You have no idea how many script writers weve met. We have zeroed in on about eight ideas we love. We want to go forward with a few of these ideas. We are working with multiple writers every day, developing scripts with them. So when we get into the pre-production and are about to release it, we are ready to pre-prod our next film. We will always be a boutique enterprise. Zayed is extremely ambitious. I am a little simple and Sahil is the balancer. The goal is to be able to keep making movies the way we want to. We keep looking at the method in the madness but it doesnt work out here in India. It takes trials, errors and understanding your methods. There are multiple studios who want to do a tie-up with us but first we need to put the most important thing together before committing on anything else, and that is the story.</span>
