''The biggest USP of 'Kisna-the warrior poet' is that it has no big stars and the story is being narrated through the British perspective,'' said noted filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who promoted his latest movie during the 35th International Film Festival of India today.

Addressing a press conference here, Mr Ghai said mainstream Indian cinema is fast changing due to the different choice of moviegowers.

Refusing to evaluate the different genres of Indian cinema, Mr Ghai said a film has to be interesting.

He said ''Kisna'' was a Britisher's trip through India and his experiencing everything that is Indian.

He described the music of the film, the lyrics of which have been penned by Javed Akhtar and composed by Ismail Durbar and A R Rehman, as difficult because he had to match it with his visuals and the script.

The music releases on December six and the film on January 21.

Javed Akhtar who was present at the press conference said the songs were part of the narrative and the situation and the screenplay was an inspiration for him. Farooq Dhondy who has written the screenplay felt that 'Kisna' had a quality reminiscent of 'Mother India' and 'Mughal-e-azam'.

''I know Indian sensibilities. A western script explores life and characters while ours reasserts values of everything Indian", he said.

Farooq said he always wanted to be associated with mainstream commercial cinema and 'Kisna' came as a good offer.

''Subhash Ghai is a more traditional story teller,'' he said.

Dhondy's other project is Ketan Mehta's ''The Rising''. Two of his films being screened at the festival are ''American Daylight'' and ''Take 3 Girls''.
