Sohum Shah names James Cameron his favourite filmmaker
Actor and filmmaker Sohum Shah named James Cameron the filmmaker he most wants to meet.
Shah said he would like to visit the sets of both Terminator films, as well as Jurassic Park and The Lord of the Rings.
He has recently revisited these Hollywood classics and admired their visual effects, especially given the technology available when they were made.
Shah said Hollywood films were not a regular part of his early movie-watching; he saw only a few, and watched them dubbed in Hindi.
He now watches films from different countries for ideas and says writers and directors should not stay within familiar styles.
He sees watching films as part of the creative process, including when he is writing.
Shah is preparing Tumbbad 2, a sequel to his 2018 horror-fantasy film; the project is also associated with the title PralayAayega.

What people are saying
I am a very desi person. During my time, I had watched only four films, and even those were Hindi-dubbed — “Titanic,” “Jurassic Park,” “Speed” and “True Lies.” I didn’t have a very deep relationship with cinema,
You have to watch films when you’re making something like this. I watch a lot of content for writing as well. You can’t just remain in your own bubble. You have to watch things because you need to find inspiration from somewhere,
