Mumbai, Aug 6 (TIWN) As the upcoming Abhay Deol starrer film 'Spin' celebrates the Indo-American culture, the director of the film Manjari Makijany says she looks at it as an opportunity to break all the stereotype that has been shown on-screen about Indian culture, community and also feels responsible to present the whole 'eclectic fusion' of Indian American culture the right way.
Manjari told IANS: “When I came on board for directing Spin I felt responsible and excited at the same time. Excited because it is one of the great opportunities for me as an Indian filmmaker to show our culture and portray the right representation of the next generation Indian-American community to the international audience, to the Disney fans. “I also felt responsible because it is a chance to break all the stereotype that is showcased about Indian community, culturally. I wanted to get those nuances right. For instance, Abhay is playing an Indian immigrant, I made sure his character doesn’t speak with a fake American accent! From production design, cinematography and every other department in the making of the film, I attempted to include diversity.”
