Shoojit Sircar on Friday said he does not make his films wondering whether the audience will approve of it as the director believes he is the "king first". The filmmaker recounted the public's mixed reaction to his latest directorial October, saying a lot of people thought that the Varun Dhawan-Banita Sandhu starrer was "slow".

"A lot of people saw October and told me that the film was really slow. And I was like 'Fine what can I say?' It's a territory where you can't be blindly sure of what you are doing. Even when you are pitching to an actor, you are trying to tell him what your vision is. I'm not a magician, this is a process for me too.
