'Blackमेल' director, Abhinay Deo believes that Hindi cinema should concentrate on creating stories of quality. In a recent interview with a leading agency, he said, "As creative people, we need to put enough thought behind every script. We, as a film industry, churn out maximum number of films but just the number is not important."
"We must give attention to content, writers must be able to come up with good stories that are different. Our industry should not be known just for quantity but for quality as well. We should all aim for excellence and aim to write an excellent script," added the director. Abhinay got success after he directed 'Delhi Belly' and now after the promising trailer of 'Blackमेल', viewers are rather eager to see on the film. Talking about Irrfan, he said, "His sense of timing, the way he manages to deliver funny things without doing many things is commendable. We feel he is not doing anything but he has thought it out very well and makes it look easy but it isn't that easy."
When asked about the absence of Irrfan at the promotions, he said, "It does affect the promotions. But everybody knows the reason why Irrfan is not here and that his treatment is important at the moment. We hope the film does well as that's what even he wants." On the film, he continued saying, "There are times when the scenes are not funny, they are serious but the audience is laughing its guts out because of the situation. There is not a single character in the film who is trying to be funny but it is still a comedy."
