Today, Majid Majidi's film Beyond The Clouds has hit the big screen. The movie contains star cast of aced actors Ishaan Khatter and Malavika Mohanan. During an interview, the splendid director shared his experience of shooting in Mumbai. The movie has shots which are been shot on the streets of Mumbai. He also shared what he thinks about the Indian cinema.

When asked about his experience of shooting the movie in Mumbai he said that his crew has taken a back on the very day when he had shown them the location. They said that they cannot shoot in that location. Apart from this, we shoot the movie in the real location at Dhobi Ghat which was a big challenge. He said he is really fascinated to see the wealth and poor living together side by side. Whereas in every other city they have clear area for poor and wealthy people but in Mumbai, it is all mixed up. 

Yet to mention that Majid Majidi said that India has all the potential to make good films. In context to the parallel cinema, he also said that Bollywood is more inclined to produce commercial cinema. 
He said that Bollywood is more inclined towards commercial cinema, even if there is great art house or parallel cinema being made here. 

In his statement, as mentioned in Pinkvilla he stated that, "India has all the potential to make good cinema; you have good actors, directors and technicians. India also has plenty of great stories that are deep rooted in their culture, which can resonate strongly with the audience. There are about thousand films that are made in India every year, but only about 200 of them are successful and the rest don’t even make it there. Remember that there are two key players in the global film industry — Hollywood and Bollywood. Overall, Hollywood has been able to strike a balance between commercial and art cinema. Bollywood has been more inclined towards commercial cinema, even though there is some great art house/parallel cinema being made here."
