People often have a fear regarding Artificial Intelligence i.e. AI that this technology will take away people’s jobs. But famous filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says that AI is not a loss but an advantage for middle class people.

Big companies are facing real losses
Shekhar Kapur said that the loss of AI is actually being caused to those big companies which were run by middle class people. Now middle class people do not want to work with them and want to do something new themselves.

Youth are leaving jobs and focusing on startups
According to the filmmaker, today’s young generation wants to open their own startup instead of working in factories and companies. With the help of AI, youth are now able to work on their ideas and move forward.

Middle class is getting the most benefit from AI
Shekhar Kapur said that the biggest benefit of AI is getting to the middle class people. The use of Artificial Intelligence has increased rapidly in today’s young generation and more people will join it in the coming time.

AI is an easy solution to expensive education
He said that in today’s time education has become very expensive but AI system is no less than a gift for the middle class. The courses which were earlier available for lakhs of rupees are now available for free or at low cost on AI platforms.

AI will change the entire education system
Shekhar Kapur believes that in the coming times, AI will change the entire education system. The things which are taught in books and coaching centers are now easily available on AI platforms like Chat GPT.

Big business of coaching center will also be affected
He told that coaching centers have opened in every street and locality in the country, which have become a business worth about Rs 25 billion. But now the content taught there is available on different AI platforms.

In the end, Shekhar Kapur said that in the coming times, youth will not just run after jobs but will give more importance to their work and their dreams. AI will be the biggest help in this change.

Director Shekhar Kapur often expresses his views through social media. On Saturday he expressed his opinion regarding the use of AI. He posted a video on social media platform ‘X’.

He wrote in the caption, “We are not yet trapped in the clutches of any AI, and what is happening is just a web of inflated prices of companies or things beyond their actual value. If people are repeatedly told about rising prices, then people start believing it to be true.

What else did Shekhar Kapur say on AI?

He further wrote, “AI is here forever and it can prove to be helpful in making our lives even easier and more productive.”

Giving an example, he wrote, “For example, if your house is being sold at a very high price, then it is no longer just your house, but has become a part of the real estate bubble. This does not mean that you do not need a house, but its prices have become high, which can fall at any time.”

We are not going through an AI bubble. We are going though a manipulated valuation bubble. Valuation is a story that if told long enough becomes a myth.

AI is here to stay. It’s potentially the most democratic technology to help make our lives more productive.

The director has given many memorable films

The director has given many memorable films in his career, but before entering the cinema world, he was a chartered accountant in London. After this, he turned towards Hindi cinema and entered the entertainment world with the serial ‘Khandaan’ and made his directorial debut with ‘Masoom’.

After this came his superhit film Mr. India. This film is still considered people’s choice for its characters and story. He has directed films like ‘The Four Feathers’ and Elizabeth-I in Hollywood.

Recently Shekhar Kapur had announced that he will make the sequel of ‘Masoom’. ‘Masoom’ was released in the year 1983. After the release, Shekhar Kapur was awarded the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Director.

Director Shekhar Kapur is going to make his first film ‘Masoom’ once again keeping the new generation in mind. On Tuesday, the director gave this information through social media. Shekhar Kapur posted his old picture on Instagram, along with which he also wrote a long note in the caption and told how this film played an important role in his career.

Shekhar Kapur wrote- ‘Those beautiful and happy days, when I was directing Masoom. Making the film was a joy for everyone and the joy is visible in the film, even though it was set many years ago. This is the reason why today wherever I go, people ask and talk to me about the film Masoom. Among them, there are many youth who were not even born at the time of the film’s release. They have seen it on TV or YouTube.

Shekhar is making the sequel of ‘Masoom’ for the new generation
The director told that he is going to make ‘Masoom’ for the new generation. He said- ‘Now that I am going to make the sequel of ‘Masoom’, I want to feel the joy of making that film again.’ He said that he has just returned from Mumbai and talked to his filmmaking friends, most of whom understand the work of filmmaking.

‘Real creativity is the feeling of the human heart…’
Shekhar writes- ‘This was my first directorial film. In this, I did not work as an assistant with anyone, nor did I read any book on film making. I just wanted to tell the story and do it as simply and honestly as possible. Now things like simplicity, happiness, honesty and storytelling have ended in films? Has the new funding system created an environment that is against creativity?

The director says, ‘Now there is such an environment in which people with MBA or management interfere and forget that real creativity comes from the feeling of a person’s heart, spontaneity and his own identity. Well… now I will see for myself and hope that the new ‘Masoom’ will be as seen in the picture above.

about the innocent

He told that when this film was released, no one had come to see the film, and he felt that his career as a filmmaker was over before it started.

He wrote in the post, “The problem is that you have made an ‘article’ film, then even the other young black marketers joined the almost threatening style. I soon understood that he was ‘artistic’ from ‘Article’ that he was ‘artistic’ … but it was not praised in any way … because they bought tickets in the hope of getting full house, so that they could sell on profit …

Career as a producer ends before it starts Done
The theater was lying vacant in the film release Friday and the days after that. He further said, “I went to the theater … and there were only two people, and one of them was me! So much emptiness shook me. It was the end of my career as a filmmaker … which was not really even … because innocent was my first film.”

Everything turned into mid -week
Shekhar further wrote in his post, “However, the turning point came in the mid -week. By Wednesday, the distributors had started removing the film from theaters, and were trying to bring a more commercial film instead. Then Thursday came. Something changed.” Shekhar Kapoor wrote, “I got a call that people have started coming. Till Friday, ticket houses were full. By Saturday, tickets started selling in black – the audience who were shying away from seeing it initially, now they are splashing to go in.”

The innocent was declared a hit declare
Shekhar further writes, “And the race to find new cinemas has started … and the innocent has been declared a hit … I don’t know what happened on Thursday? I don’t know what happened. What would happen if they do not come on Thursday? The distributors would leave other cinema too … and there is no innocent film that someone would watch.”

Shekhar further wrote, “Now, after so many years … when I am preparing to bring ‘innocent, the next-generation’ into production, the word ‘article film’ still persecutes me … and … what happened on Thursday? Did my (or film) luck change overnight?”

Shekhar kapoor recalls a moment with nusrat fateh ali khan: Film maker Shekhar Kapoor shared the story during the shooting of his film ‘Bandit Queen’. Posting on social media, he told that the late singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan had a unique demand.

This incident is from the time when the music legend R.D. Burman had passed away. Shekhar Kapoor shared this special moment on Instagram and said that the pain could be seen clearly in Nusrat’s voice.

‘You watch your movie and I will lose looking into your eyes’: Nusrat

Shekhar told, a background score was being prepared for ‘Bandit Queen’. This scene was of the Behmai massacre and the subsequent scene, where many pyre were burning and the compassionate voices of women were echoing. During this, Nusrat made a strange demand to me. He said that Shekhar ji, you watch your film and I will sing in your eyes. “

Shekhar wrote, “When Mike was turned on, Nusrat had landed in my eyes, as if he was reading my soul. Nusrat knew that I had a deep relationship with RD Burman. He prepared the music of my first film ‘Masoom’. He had tied the voice of Nusrat and his eyes.

What else did Shekhar Kapoor tell

He suggested that if someone sees a ‘Bandit Queen’ again, then in the post -scene after the Behmai massacre, he must hear the music of Nusrat, who will take the audience into a deep experience.

Shekhar said, “Working with Nusrat was the same. I make films so that I can find the place between birth and death where creativity resides.” Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan died of a heart attack on 16 August 1997.
