    What's the story

    Celebrated director of All We Imagine as Light, Payal Kapadia, is planning her next venture. After winning accolades at Cannes and a Golden Globes nod for her last film, she is now considering a trilogy set in Mumbai.

    Speaking to Variety, she revealed, "I started writing my next movie, and it's also going to be a film in Bombay."

    "It's a bit early, but I'm thinking about doing two more films in Bombay and having this kind of a trilogy."

    Director's stance

    Kapadia's response to criticism and Oscar selection process

    Kapadia also responded to Jahnu Barua's criticism, the head of India's Oscar committee, who called her film "very poor technically."

    She was confused by his comments, saying, "I don't know what he meant... maybe I'll meet him one day and ask him."

    About the Oscar submission decision, she said, "It would have been nice if we were selected, but it's just a process. Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't... My entire movie was made by applying to grants."
