’, and ‘Y’ is now working with State award-winning best actor Suraj Venjaramoodu for an upcoming movie titled ‘Roy’. In an exclusive conversation with ETimes, Sunil Ibrahim shares his views on the heated discussion.“I personally want ‘Roy’ to release in theatres. I hope all the directors wish the same. In our movie ‘Roy’ sound has great relevance and watching it in the cinema halls will give the audience the intended result,” Sunil Ibrahim said.
The filmmaker also adds that watching movies in the cinema hall is an experience altogether and it is quintessential for a filmmaker. “In the cinemas, we get an immediate response and it is important for a maker to know such reactions. To watch the movie along with the audience in the cinema halls is an experience on its own. We cannot know the feedback while releasing a movie directly to the OTT platforms unless some people discuss it on movie-related groups. Whereas the cinema halls give us immediate feedback. A maker will get an immediate response while a movie is screened in the cinema halls. A filmmaker can catch the response to each and every scene he/she has crafted. And that’s an experience,” he added. Sunil Ibrahim signed off adding that his team is trying their best to release
