Call it destiny or a happy accident, but a casual meeting with his mentor Anurag Kashyap led the filmmaker to join the short film as a presenter. “When I ran into Anurag sir, I casually mentioned the film. He found it cool and came on board,” the first-time director told mid-day. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

Imtiaz Ali says he’s ‘apolitical’: ‘Restrictive if you have a fixed political agenda’ | Bollywood News

3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: Jul 21, 2026 08:13 PM IST Imtiaz Ali, who is being celebrated for his latest film Main Vaapas Aaunga, was recently asked about being a “morally ambiguous and apolitical” filmmaker, as that is how he described himself while promoting the film. In stark contrast, Main Vaapas Aaunga was seen as a deeply political film which spoke about the tragedy of the Partition, and how it continues to affect generations. The film ended with visuals from Gaza and Palestine as it spoke about the tragedies unfolding across the world. So when Imtiaz was asked to explain why he called himself “apolitical,” he said that “politics is propelled by personal emotion or desire and that is my status in life.” ‘Politics is propelled by personal emotion’ Imtiaz acknowledged that while there is a lot of politics in Main Vaapas Aaunga, he would still describe his stance as apolitical. “Ultimately, I am rooting for Keenu and Jia, and Keenu and Jia have politics. Their politics is, ‘Partition should not happen’ but there’s a reason …

“Aaj bhi, jaise Gaza mei, Iran mei strife aur conflict hai, but there are people falling in love, getting married and harbouring dreams. Life doesn’t stop. History is always seen from the perspectives of oppressors and victims. But what about the ordinary person? There’s so much richness even in that ordinariness,” is how author-screenwriter Nayanika Mahtani’s views history. Naturally, this extended to her approach towards Main Vaapas Aaunga, which she wrote with director Imtiaz Ali.  Over a 90-minute call from her home in London, Mahtani speaks to mid-day about weaving the timelessness of a love story with the lasting after-effects of the Partition, paying a tribute to the generation of quiet heroes, the alternate ending, and how through the film, Imtiaz walked her back home.
