I wouldn't say my life has changed so much, it is just that I am now known to a global audience. I can now also work in overseas productions. Global projects are reaching me and they want me to be on board. I am open to these opportunities. Therefore, the principal change that has occurred is that I now have more projects to choose from.
Lee Jung Jae on 'Squid Game' success
When I bought the rights for the original screenplay, it had a different subject matter and spin. The character played by Jung was much smaller and the focus was solely on the role (of Park Pyong-ho) that I play. I decided to work on it. In the times that we live in there is so much fake information going around and I wanted to weave that into the film. I retained the 1980s setting because that was a period in which not only Korea but also many other countries saw information being routinely manipulated by those in power."

One of the ways that content becomes international and consumed is the fact that it becomes aspirational. Koreans have become successful because they are unabashed about how they don’t want to appease the rest of the world. They are very Korean in their nature – and that’s why my son wants to see it. I think if we are able to make those stories aspirational, of which we have many opportunities in India, we will be as much a global player as Hollywood is.

In the West, there is some kind of shyness when mythology comes up. I did a film called Elizabeth (1998), my first film outside India and I am thinking – how am I gonna do this? This is the most famous queen in the world and I am an Indian filmmaker! I was like, actually, I have a mythic idea and to me everything about Elizabeth is mythic. And when I was shooting it everybody said, ‘Shekhar, it is so melodramatic’, and I said, ‘No, it’s mythic’. Reviews also said that it is a very melodramatic film. I said, ‘Yes!’ They said it is a Bollywood film, and I said, ‘Yes!’ And then we got nominated for nine Oscars and Cate Blanchett became one of the biggest stars in the world.

How can I take India and what can be produced in India and make it palatable for the global market and reach out to that market? That’s what Korea did with K-pop or K-dramas. They reached out with a distinct Korean flavour catered to the world market. Every culture in the world has something to offer, I would hate a world which is standardised. Another thing that’s important is that India understands diversity. We are so used to diversity.
