Recently, at a panel discussion at IFP, Shoojit Sircar said, “Satyajit Ray has been my guru and still I think his films are so much influence in my life and in my films also. Apart from that I have watched a lot of Oliver Stone films, Fellini, Buñuel (Luis Buñuel), Mrinal Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, there are many others. So, at that time I think those films didn’t have this kind of exhibition, this kind of distribution.”

“For example, if it was Mumbai and if it was a Ray film, it will be showing in maybe one in somewhere in town in one theatre. It never had a chance to go to many theatres. Things are different now, I mean there are many theatres to exhibit your films but at that time it was only, like I grew up in Delhi and it was only one theatre where I could see these kinds of films, wherever Bergman films or Buñuel films or Ray films. So I think these films were my influences,” he added.

On the work front, Shoojit Sircar is gearing up for his untitled next, which will be a theatrical release this year. His upcoming film is also a slice-of-life drama starring Abhishek Bachchan and is slated for release at the end of November.
