Renowned anchor Sudhir Chaudhary who currently works with DD News has expressed his desire to enter film making. The journalist made the revelation during his latest interview with Smita Prakash where he emphasized the importance of combining entertainment with news telling in order to appeal to wider range of audiences.

Out of curiosity, the interviewer asked Sudhir whether he wants to act in film, Sudhir Chaudhary strongly emphasized that he does not want to act but want to do story telling especially about major events. The anchor indicated about entering the film industry by stating that he is in touch with many of his bollywood friends.

I actually wanted to get into storytelling and I felt that finally what we were doing it’s all about storytelling, what we connect with me too is this. That I tell a news like a story so that they can understand and the story as I told you in the telling, news is very limited.

This format of news has now reached saturation. Inside. A lot of people don’t want to watch it in this format. For example, when you show news on the same topic on a news channel, people don’t watch it. When you make a film on that subject, people see it. The real character. When you bring it to the news, it doesn’t gain the same popularity.

But when an actor gets into that role, people are attracted to it. We start liking it a lot. A big reason for this is the film’s storytelling is very strong and very simple. What I missed in the news there’s no emotion in our news. Our anchors come with straight faces. He breaks the news to you without emotion.

He doesn’t laugh or cry. He doesn’t even have tears in his eyes. He doesn’t even laugh out loud. So the news becomes very flat. If you want to expand news, then you need to expand news and entertainment. You have to combine the two. Like the IPL. When you watch an IPL match, you won’t know if you’re watching sports or entertainment. — [Sudhir Chaudhary in conversation with Smita Prakash]
