The 2014 film about existentialism, received appreciation from all quarters, but Kapoor says he has been looking for money for his new film for the past two years with no success.
"I have three scripts ready to go. I am just looking for money for the past two years. It gets very frustrating at times. But when it will come, I will make something. I hope by the end of this year, I can start something new," he told PTI.
"Even now people watch my earlier films. People watch 'Ankhon Dekhi' and tweet to me even after two years. It is a happy thing for me. But still there will always be a struggle for me to find money for my next film. Looking for money is going to be a constant battle, even after having a credible resume."
Kapoor says despite people constantly talking about the new wave in Indian cinema, there is no such phenomenon as only a handful of filmmakers are experiencing the so-called "new wave".
