He feels that the concept is beneficial for filmmakers as well as for audiences. <img alt="Dibakar Banerjee" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jan/Dibakar-Banerjee.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 590px;" /> In 2006, Ram Gopal Varma&#39;s &quot;Darna Zaroori Hai&quot; featured six stories by six different directors - J.D. Chakravarthy, Manish Gupta, Prawal Raman, Sajid Khan, Jijy Philip and Vivek Shah. In 2007, &quot;Dus Kahaniyaan&quot; was a similar sort of project. Now comes &quot;Bollywood Talkies&quot;, an amalgamation of four short films by Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Banerjee. It releases Friday. &quot;I am very surprised that more ventures like this didn&#39;t happen... I am feeling very lucky to be a part of the four (in &#39;Bombay Talkies&#39;),&quot; said the National Award-winning director at the special screening of the film here Tuesday. &quot;It could have been any director from Hindi cinema. First of all, I am feeling very privileged and excited. It will only happen once in hundred years,&quot; he added. Banerjee said it is a huge benefit for him as he will get the audience of the other three directors as well. &quot;For the audiences, it&#39;s a great benefit as when they will come to see my film, they will see a Karan Johar film, an Anurag Kashyap and a Zoya Akhtar film. I feel greatly supported as every time I will get my audience to see the film, I will also get the audience of other three directors.&quot; &quot;That&#39;s a huge benefit and I have never got a such big audience for my film ever before,&quot; said the director, whose last film was &quot;Shanghai&quot;.
