Director Imtiaz Ali, who has been behind films like 'Socha Naa Tha', 'Jab We Met' and 'Love Aaj Kal', says he should not be categorised as 'romantic' filmmaker because every movie comes with a love story.
	"Every film has some element of romance in it even if it's an off-beat movie, action thriller or a women centric story," said Imtiaz.
	The 42-year-old director is all set to release his upcoming road romance 'Highway', starring Randeep Hooda and Alia Bhatt, this December.
 	Imtiaz is famous for redefining the genre in Bollywood by giving relatable characters to audiences but he does not like being pigeonholed into a particular image.
	"It varies from director to director how he adds the romantic element in his films but romance is everywhere. It is not necessary to categorise films into particularly 'romantic flicks'," said the director, who was in the Capital for a mobile launch.
    'Highway' is very close to Imtiaz's heart as he wanted it to be his first film.

'Avengers' made history by becoming the third biggest film of all time but its director Joss Whedon believes it could have been better.
	The director hopes to improve as he brings Marvel Comics' greatest superhero team together in the sequel, reported Entertainment Weekly.

There was haphazardness in the way it comes together - not just the people, but the scenes. I don't think you'd look at it and go, 'This is a model of perfect structure.' You'd go, 'This is working.'," Whedon said.
