With a focus on innovation, the new director of Prithvi Theatre (after Sanjna Kapoor handed over the reins to him), brother Kunal Kapoor is determined to instill a rejuvenation in theatre, and the first step towards this was reinstating the Prithvi Festival that started in 1983 but ceased, two years back.
"We are returning with the festival after two years. This year, the theatre fraternity has got together to make this happen, since we still don't have any sponsors and no grants from the government," Kapoor revealed at a press conference, yesterday.
