Hyderabad, Nov. 15 -- Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap described the 'Pan-India' film concept as a big scam, saying that big-budget productions were undermining the spirit of cinema and threatening the survival of small-budget films.
Speaking at the Chaya Literature Festival organised at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University (BRAOU) here on Saturday, he said good films were emerging from Tamil cinema in South India.
He also highlighted the important role of literature in human life.
BRAOU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Ghanta Chakrapani said the festival was being organised to build a bridge between Telugu literature and other Indian and international literary traditions.
