Technology will change the way people watch movies: Shammi Kapoor

In future people will watch movies directly at home

PTI | May 20, 2010



The day is not far when people, aided by technology, will be able to watch new movies directly at home and avoid visiting a theatre, yesteryear's Bollywood star Shammi Kapoor has said.

"With technology evolving rapidly, I feel two generations down the line people can see movies directly at home. They can plug into any movie by way of putting some coins over phone, download it and then watch it," Kapoor, one of the leading Internet users in B-town, told PTI here.

The 78-year-old netizen-actor is the founder and Chairman of Internet Users Community of India (IUCI) and has played a major role in setting up Internet organisations like Ethical Hackers Association.

The veteran actor, who maintains a website dedicated to the 'Kapoor family', said, it feels great to watch 3D films like 'Avatar'. "It is an excellent movie, the way technology has been used, its mind blowing...superb... excellent."

Sharing his experience with Internet, Kapoor said, "Even before Internet came to India I had made use of it. I knew about emails, online shopping and other things. We can see technology is useful in many ways - with just a click we can get so many things done in no time."

The legendary actor will be soon seen sharing his special moments with fans through a video blog in a series of short 2-3 minute web episodes titled 'Shammi Kapoor Unplugged'. .
