Shekhar Kapur, known for movies like Bandit Queen, Mr India and Masoom, says he became a filmmaker because he couldn’t stop imagining new stories everyday.

Kapur on Tuesday night took to Twitter and expressed that the stories he can’t tell on films he narrates on social media platforms.

“I became a filmmaker because I could not stop imagining and telling new stories every day those I can’t tell on film, I have started to narrate on Instagram,” he tweeted.
