Audience willing to see great films: Dinesh Vijan
New Delhi

Filmmaker Dinesh Vijan, who is busy with horror-comedy
film "Stree", says the audience is willing to see great films over merely
picturesque locations.
Asked if Bollywood is now focussing on
content-driven films than just entertainers, Vijan told IANS: "I believe the
audience's thinking has changed and I think we need to cater to that. I feel a
good film always works.
"It was a phase... Like I said, it is a new
emerging India. So, we need to cater to that and obviously with the digital
advent that has happened, they are not willing to see nicer locations but are
willing to see a great film."
Vijan said the industry needs to "pull up
our game and work that much harder to give that kind of content".
Directed by Amar Kaushik, "Stree", also stars Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor.
It is being backed by Maddock Films, jointly produced by Vijan and Raj and DK.
The film is based on an urban legend set in a small village named Chanderi
in Bhopal and music-composer duo Sachin-Jigar have scored the album.
