Kozhikode: ‘I am an artist. I don’t have to blame another artist. Artists should have mutual respect, “said Shaji N. Karun, a well-known film director.
He was responding to a query from Film Academy chairman Kamal over his omission from the opening ceremony of the International Film Festival. Earlier, Chalachithra Academy chairman Kamal had said that he had called Shaji six times and that the controversy may have been due to his memory.
Artists should not be discriminated against on the basis of politics.
To the question whether parallel films are not considered even in the theaters of the Film Development Corporation, Shaji said that the media should find out where the audience of those films has gone.
