A renowned Hindi film actor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, shared his views on the selection process for the International Film Festival of India (Iffi), stating that only deserving filmmakers should be invited. He emphasized the importance of recognizing those who create artistic cinema and expressed his belief that they are the ones who truly value the festival. Siddiqui’s statement comes in response to recent controversies surrounding the inclusion of non-artistic filmmakers at Iffi. This debate was sparked when Arvind Sinha, chairperson of the Indian Panorama non-feature film jury, questioned the presence of Bollywood director Karan Johar and others at the event’s opening ceremony. Sinha argued that such filmmakers have limited connection to the world of cinema. These discussions highlight the need to prioritize deserving filmmakers and provide opportunities for those dedicated to producing meaningful cinema.
