Director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri recently took to social media to share a valuable lesson he learned from acclaimed director Shekhar Kapur. Reflecting on his journey and the wisdom gained along the way, Vivek shared a moment of learning from Kapur. Recounting the incident, Agnihotri revealed how he, coming from an advertising background in Delhi, found himself on the sets of Shekhar’s film Time Machine at Famous Studio.
Vivek Agnihotri thinks “Aamir Khan starrer Time Machine was shelved because Shekhar Kapur didn’t compromise”
In his post, the filmmaker recalled being in awe of Shekhar’s directorial finesse while observing the set quietly. Despite Kapoor’s soft-spoken demeanour, Vivek gleaned a crucial lesson: the importance of not compromising on one’s vision. He wrote about the significance of giving love, respect, and time to one’s team to achieve high standards in filmmaking, drawing parallels between the collaborative nature of filmmaking and life itself.
Some of the best directors never attended film school or worked as assistants.
