He even said that his cinema will always have that dramatic touch. He added that his cinema will always have a dignity of it being told on the screen as he works on his visual and it has to be worthy of being there.
He further added that he is responsible for giving his audience an experience and he is not here to make money but to make a film and make an experience.
