Farah Khan, known for directing blockbusters like Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om and Happy New Year, said she tried making films on a smaller scale but things never moved forward.

The director was speaking at Big Cine Expo, where she was honoured for her work. Farah said she loves watching different kinds of films but may not necessarily want to make them. "I may not be capable of making those movies. A lot of directors enjoy my movies but they may not want to make those films. Love for cinema cannot be for only a certain type of films. I am a foodie for cinema. I watch all kinds of movies, from Polish, Swedish to French and they're absolutely fantastic.
"My sensibilities are such that I make Pan-Indian films which would run from B centre to A plus (tiers). That's a difficult thing to do because you have to please one billion people. It's easy to make a film that pleases 10,000 people." Farah said even films around a certain event are driven by content and it's unfair to say otherwise.
"You can't say there's no content in event films. Rohit makes films that are completely enjoyable. They have a social message, they're not vulgar. The same goes for me. It's just that we like to make larger-than-life films, the trend of which is fading away slowly. "My attempt has always been to make films that have repeat value like that of Manmohan Desai and Nasir Hussain films," she added.
