My Take
Rajat Kapoor interests me because he refuses to pick a lane. Director, actor, playwright: in Hindi cinema he sits on both sides of the camera and on the page as well. That kind of multi-hyphenate often signals someone who simply cannot stop shaping stories, and I respect the appetite. Indian film is too easily reduced to spectacle abroad, so it matters that there are makers with a distinct authorial voice working quietly within it. From Delhi to the playhouse to the editing suite, Kapoor strikes me as a craftsman first and a celebrity second, which is exactly the kind of artist I find worth documenting.
