PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Genocide is the latest topic to catch
acclaimed Indian film director Shekhar Kapur`s fancy.
According to Zeenews, Kapur recently tweeted about his plans to visit
Yerevan to collect material on the event.
"It is a part of world history though a very shameful one," Kapur said.
"The idea came to me based on a script sent to me by the screenwriter
of "Motorcycle Diaries", Puerto Rican Jose Rivera. I fell in love with
the script. It is a challenging project though. It will require lots
of money, lots of passion and organization. But there are a lot of
passionate people behind this project. So it will hopefully see the
light of day. I believe in fighting for what I believe in," he said.
However, filming of the movie will not start before another year,
says Kapur, who is yet to begin work on his long-pending movie on
water wars, 'Paani'.
"There has been a shift in Turkish society. Nobody from that period
is alive today. The new generation believes they have to move on. They
say, 'Why can`t we accept what happened?'," the film director said.
