Kiran keeps Aamir away from Ship of Thesus
21 Jun 2013 2:39 AM IST
Filmmaker Kiran Rao, who is presenting Ship Of Theseus, says it would not have been wise to let her filmmaker-actor husband Aamir Khan present the film as he would have managed to pull a crowd, but the film can’t take a wide audience.
Rao is releasing director Anand Gandhi’s internationally acclaimed Ship of Theseus 19 July in association with UTV Motion Pictures.
‘The film was produced when I came on board, so I am only presenting it. I am lending the film my name and whatever goodwill and credibility I have, so that the film gets wider audience,’ Rao, known for directing Dhobi Ghaat, said.
‘If Aamir had presented the film, it would have been a problem for the film because a lot of people would have come to see the film because of Aamir and not like the film. It’s not a film that can take a wide audience.’
‘Everybody can’t walk in and watch this film because they are not prepared for this kind of cinema, and then they might be disappointed.
Aamir would have been a tricky sword to use. He may bring big audience, but they may not like this film,’ she added
