In an engaging conversation with Adil Hussain at the 23rd edition of the River to River Film Festival in Florence, we delved into the differences between Hollywood and Bollywood filmmaking from a cultural standpoint. Hussain shared insightful observations, attributing the disparities primarily to cultural attitudes.

According to Hussain, the relaxed nature of Indian culture often leads to a more laid-back approach in the Indian film industry: “It’s my interpretation… that we are more chilled people. We do not take this particular life so seriously because there is another life coming up.

However, Hussain expressed concerns about settling for mediocrity in the creative process and emphasized the lack of dedication seen in Indian filmmaking compared to classical art forms like Kathakali, where performers undergo rigorous training for years before showcasing their talent.

Reflecting on his experiences with various directors, Hussain discussed the challenges he faces in striving for excellence in an industry that sometimes settles for less. He emphasized the need for disciplined and dedicated work culture to elevate the creative process.

Hussain shared his insights on the importance of preparation, stating, “I would be very happy that the director is not satisfied till I reach whatever the director wants.

He also highlighted the significance of film festivals that prioritize cinema over glitz and glamour, mentioning Dharamshala Film Festival as one of his favorites for its focus on celebrating films rather than idolizing actors.

On the subject of spirituality in cinema, Hussain offered a profound perspective, defining spirituality as the celebration of the human spirit and the mysterious complexities that define us.
