Payal told Variety, “I started writing my next movie, and it’s also going to be a film in Bombay. It’s a bit early, but I’m thinking about doing two more films in Bombay and having this kind of a trilogy.”
In the same interview, Payal Kapadia reacted to criticism she received for her highly acclaimed All We Imagine As Light from Jahnu Barua, head of India’s Oscar committee. While responding to his comments about her film being "very poor technically," she said, “I don’t know what he meant… maybe I’ll meet him one day and ask him.” Regarding the Oscar submission decision itself, she added, “It would have been nice if we were selected, but it’s just a process. Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don’t… My entire movie was made by applying to grants. We didn’t get many, but we got some, and we made the film finally. So, it’s just part of the process. You have to take things as they come.”
