Zoya Akhtar, a producer-director, believes that romantic movies have the potential to make a comeback as a popular genre in the Indian film industry. According to her, the trend of storytelling comes in a circle. This means that a particular genre may get saturated, and later on, people will start to enjoy it. Therefore, romantic movies are set to make a comeback.
Zoya Akhtar participated in a scriptwriting workshop organized by Whistling Woods International along with the Screenwriters Association. During the workshop, she revealed her approach to writing scripts.
She said, "I don't work that way. I don't think, 'Now people are looking for this, so let me write this.' But if you look at the last 10-15 years, there has been a shift. Everything changes. If you look at it cyclically, maybe love stories will return."
