Filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who is known for ‘Aligarh’, ‘Shahid’, ‘Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story’, has said that budget should not be looked at as a constraint for making good cinema. The filmmaker recently attended the FICCI BAF Awards event in Mumbai where the FICCI -EY Media and Entertainment report was launched. During the event, he emphasised on the critical role of writing and preparation to make good cinema.

He said, "If you spend the most time writing, the development cycle, then there is assurance that what you have made is true to the material. Preparation and development are the key things”.
