In a recent encounter with the press, Naseeruddin Shah provided a glimpse into his cinematic musings, offering insight into his thoughts on contemporary films and filmmakers.

In his characteristic candor, Naseeruddin Shah revealed his attempt to engage with two highly anticipated Indian films, 'RRR' and 'Pushpa.' Regrettably, despite his eagerness, both films managed to elude him. Nevertheless, the thespian did not let this dampen his enthusiasm for cinema. He did, however, manage to commend the celebrated filmmaker Mani Ratnam, shedding light on his admiration for the director's craft. Naseeruddin Shah had indeed seen one of Mani Ratnam's cinematic creations, which left a lasting impression on him.

Prior to this revelation, Naseeruddin Shah had voiced his thoughts on another cinematic venture, 'Gadar 2.' The actor, known for his discerning taste, had undoubtedly stirred conversations with his comments on this upcoming film, adding to the intrigue surrounding its release.

During an interview, Naseeruddin Shah delved further into his cinematic philosophy, expressing, "I have confidence that smaller films like 'Ramprasad ki Terahvein' and 'Gulmohar' will secure their place because I have great faith in the younger generation. They are highly evolved and possess a wealth of knowledge. Beyond the excitement, I can't fathom what more one could expect." These words not only reflect his optimism in the budding talents of the film industry but also underline his belief in the transformative power of storytelling.

Naseeruddin Shah's admiration for Mani Ratnam was palpable as he lauded the director once again, emphasizing that his attempt to watch 'RRR' was driven purely by a desire to experience the work of an exceptionally skilled filmmaker. It is evident that Naseeruddin Shah approaches cinema with a discerning eye, free from any ulterior motives.

Furthermore, the veteran actor spoke about the profound impact that certain films have on him. He noted that after viewing such films, a lasting sense of joy often lingers for several days. For Naseeruddin Shah, it is inconceivable to imagine a scenario where he wouldn't watch such films, reaffirming his unwavering commitment to the world of storytelling through cinema.

However, not all films find favor in the actor's discerning gaze. In a previous interview with a free press publication, Naseeruddin Shah voiced his apprehensions regarding the widespread acclaim of certain films, notably citing 'Kashmir Files.' While he admitted to not having watched films like 'The Kerala Story' and 'Gadar 2,' he was aware of their content. His reservations stemmed from his concern about films such as 'Kashmir Files' enjoying such unprecedented popularity.
