Director-writer Habib Faisal, who's enjoying the success of Ishaqzaade, says though technology has made filmmaking easier, one cannot ignore the significance of a valid story in a film. "Films are always going to be concept-driven. Yes, technological advancements have happened, they've made filmmaking easier for we all. However the key thing is usually going to be the concept, whether it was Mughal-e-Azam or Pyaasa or Do Bigha Zameen...Paa, Stanley Ka Dabba or whatever," said Faisal here Sunday at Subhash Ghai's acting school Whistling Woods.
Faisal, whose made debut with Do Dooni Chaar featuring Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, recalled how the senior actress got excited on seeing new equipment within the dubbing studio. "ONCE I made Do Dooni Chaar with Neetu Singh, she was making a return after 30 years. The flicks were dubbed even then and they're dubbed even today. She was very inquisitive when she came for the dubbing and was the entire new equipment like a child," said the director, who also won a countrywide award for the film. Habib started his career as a news cameraman and later turned screenwriter and penned dialogues for films like Ta Ra Rum Pum, Band Baaja Baaraat and women v/s Ricky Bahl.
