Nair added: “Usually when you talk about masters, it always goes into the 1960s and 1970s, and the great art house movements and all of that. So the idea was to explore more modern contemporary creators, and do a deep dive and get under their skin and into their minds.” Chopra calls the series the deepest dive she has ever taken in her career as usually the entertainment journalism format is restricted to promotional interviews or interviews which are of 40-60 minutes duration. The “Modern Masters” format allowed her to explore the subjects in much more depth. The Rajamouli documentary for example, follows him to Japan for the “RRR” release in that country and to the U.S. as part of the film’s awards promotions tour.
“Ten years later, Rajamouli will be in a different place than he is today. But this should be the definitive portrait of the man and the artist right now,” Chopra said. “All these people who are right now shaping pop culture and what’s shaping India – because cinema is such a potent force in India – I feel we need to record this, and that’s what ‘Modern Masters’ is.”Documentaries will be between 60-90 minutes each and the series is headed for a major streamer in the second half of 2023.
