Amid conflicts raging in parts of the globe, veteran filmmaker Shekhar Kapur on Wednesday emphasised that fights between countries can be stopped if they start telling their stories to each other.
Shekhar, director of the 55th edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), which opened in Goa, maintained the country's movie industry is the greatest content makers, and also its greatest consumers, in the world.
In his brief interaction during inauguration of the IFFI, the 78-year-old filmmaker opined that in this polarised world, within nations, within communities, "the only way we talk to each other is by telling each other our stories".
