Tell us something about Mehrooni?
Mehrooni is about a couple in Mumbai, who love each other. The kind of love we read in books. So it's a story about the journey of their love along the mad rush of the city. Can't tell anything more, since it's a short film, the movie will get over. (Laughs)
How do you feel that Mehrooni is part of Royal Stag Large Short Film?
Obviously I feel very happy, that it is part of such a fest. The fact that some big names like Anurag Kashyap and Sudhir Mishra are also a part of the fest makes it even more exciting.
What was the reason that you signed a short film like Mehrooni?Actually, Mehrooni was the first film I was offered, after which I got Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Filmistaan. So when Parag (director of Mehrooni) came to me with this project I just took it up. Obviously the story was great and I had a good role.
If Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Filmistaan, would have happened before, would you still have signed a short film like Mehrooni?
Yes, of course. It is not about doing main stream cinema or not, it's about going some great work. In fact I am doing another short film, titled 'Curfew'.
Is there any other facets of film making you would like to explore other than acting?I started my career as an Assistant Director and now an actor, so hopefully I might direct my own film someday. I would have loved to make a film like Mehrooni.
What are the other projects you have in hand?
I am doing a telefilm, directed and produced by, Nikhil Advani. It's yet to be titled but will be showcased on the channel Zindagi. Other than that I am also doing a film based on the book, What A Loser, it's called Loser Kahi Ka, where I play the loser (Laughs)
We wish that you make a long lasting impression in the hearts of the audience and all the best for all future endeavours.
