India, Feb. 3 -- Mahesh Narayanan, the director of films like Malik, Take Off and the upcoming multi-starrer Patriot, was in Bengaluru recently, for a session at the ongoing Bengaluru International Film Festival. Patriot, he said, has a political angle, much like his other films too, which landed him in trouble as well. "Anything personal is political these days. As a filmmaker, you have to say that in a good angle, so that it communicates well to a larger set of people. That is the only thing that I am trying with Patriot. The film, though, is in a new genre that I have never tried - an espionage thriller, which involves a bit of action too," he said.
