Buzz is that you are quitting Pavitra Rishta? Too much has been said about it. And I don't want to comment on this right now. How did you get involved in direction? My interest in direction began during my theatre days. I had joined Barry John's theatre group and gradually I developed a passion for direction. It fascinated me more than acting and I began paying attention to all behind the scenes action. Whatever I have learned about direction is from that experience. Later I even assisted director Mohit Suri in Raaz 2 which taught me loads about camera angle. | ||||
What are you most passionate about 'dancing, acting, direction or writing scripts? It is very difficult for me to differentiate as all are creative outlets mostly intertwined. They are means to entertain the audiences and therefore I would say I am passionate about entertaining all my fans the most. | ||||
What genre of scripts do you prefer to write -romantic or dramatic? I am into character based in writing and I stick to scripts which are suitable for short film festivals. Like the one I made a while ago which was based on a schizophrenic. I can write romantic scripts but they are not that suitable for short films which mostly crisp and to the point. | |
Among the Bollywood directors whose work do you like? At present, I feel Anurag Kashyap has made a niche for himself and experiments a lot. I love his direction, his style, his narration and the way he treats his subject in the film. I find his films well directed and scripted. I like all his films. | ||||
Among the foreign directors, whose work do you appreciate? There are many classy directors outside India but there are few who I really admire for their work - Martin Scorsese who made the hit film Casino, Shutter Island which showed what a talented man he is. I really appreciate French director Franois Truffaut who for me is the ultimate director. |
