Netflix has such a knack for giving a new life to those B-movies that you thought and hoped no one would ever see. Especially when you have a new project coming out and they're looking to mine some of your lesser-known films.
FM stations still play songs from 'Birugaali,' 'Patre Loves Padma,' 'Sanchari' and 'Dheemaku' and people love them. But since the films failed, hardly anybody remembers that I scored the music for these films.
Everyone has their 'Showgirls.' We remember the great films actors have been in, and the rest get forgotten. But occasionally, people like to revisit the ones that get swept aside.
I've done a number of films that no one has ever seen, and that's probably a good thing.
I watch many, many, many independent films every year that you see once in a film festival and they're never heard of ever again. Many of them are very, very good.
I like a little movie I did in the early nineties called 'Mortal Thoughts.' The part was hardly written, but I learned a lot making it. No one remembers it.
In my office, we were talking about the fact that they'd announced a remake of 'A Star is Born,' and I was bemoaning the idea of a fourth remake. And the young guys who work in my office were giving me blank looks, like, 'What's 'A Star is Born?'
Not all films are going to go down in history.
The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.
I have memories of films that nobody ever saw, that I was very proud of, and those are still great memories.
I'm not too proud of the movies I made as a grownup except for 'That Hagen Girl', which nobody remembers but which gave me a chance to act.
