Arundhati Roy on Cinema and Writing

Arundhati Roy on Cinema and Writing

Arundhati Roy is a famous writer who used to write movies.

She talked about her first movie, 'In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones,' which she made with her friend Pradip Krishen.

This movie was about students in a college and was very funny and real.

It will be shown at a big movie festival in Berlin.

Roy also wrote a famous book called 'The God of Small Things,' which won a big prize.

She said she likes writing books because she can control her stories better than in movies.

She doesn't want her books to be turned into movies because she thinks everyone should imagine them in their own way.

Roy also talked about her new book, which is about her mother and her own life.

She loves writing and thinks all her different jobs help her be a better writer.
