So, who is this Vikramaditya Motwane ? And why and how he made Udaan, the film which got selected for Cannes this year, the mecca of all film fests! The dream debut of any filmmaker, unless you count Pottymakers like Sajid Khan as filmmaker too! And its also not about going there to pose as a mannequin and fake plastic smile all over! Its about that love called cinema! Its about “official” entry! Rest everything else is just frills and thrills or hisssss.
Have been trying to locate Vikramaditya Motwane and the story of making of Udaan but so far its been bad luck (Though managed to watch the film & loved it). So, here are two tv interviews in which producer Anurag Kashyap and director Vikramaditya Motwane talk about Udaan, Cannes and more. First one is by Anupama Chopra of NDTV. And the second one is by Rajeev Masand of CNN IBN.
Vodpod videos no longer available.

PS – Dear Anurag, we know that long long ago you were the one who promised Vikram that nobody else but you are goning to produce Udaan, we also know that you get hyperactive when you start talking about cinema and we also know that what you talk, makes lot of sense. BUT, let Vikramaditya Motwane speak too. He is the “director” of the film . We know you well, we wanna know him now! Its a scary feeling that you might be going the VVC way – maine banayee hai….maine…..maine kiya hai….maine likha hai…maine kaha tha….everything where maine is the key word! Hopefully we will be proved wrong but there is no harm in a making a point that’s coming across so strongly in both the interviews. Enjoy!

[…] review of Udaan click here, for Vikramaditya Motwane & Anurag Kashyap’s video interviews here, for earlier poster/pics/synopsis of the film here and for all the Cannes jazz […]
There are still many people who need to listen to Anurag in this country. I believe he is making a great effort to talk to them, not a highly-informed elite. Vikram will get his chance. Have patience. This is the second time I am on this site and for the first time I’ve realized why this is “fight club.” Perhaps I am taking you too seriously.
I really wonder was it a genuine concern for Vikram’s voice or the CANNES that is suddenly making you curious… Anurag is the guy who made the film come true… A guy with crazy ideas from a small place like me had never thought such a film could be made in India so soon. Udaan is pretty much like “meri” own story. It is also the story of Anurag. It is Vikram’s “apni” story. The idea to make something as personal as Udaan didn’t come to AK probably because he knew nobody will produce it. Do you really understand what it means?
In your fight club spirit, all that I am saying is if you had understood what this film means to AK, you’d have also understood why “meine” is the key word here…
