A Still from 'Socha Na Tha'

'Socha Na tha' will mark the debut of director Imtiaz Ali along with Abhay Deol and Apoorva Jha. Here is an excerpt from a conversation with the newcomer director:

What is 'Socha Na Tha' for you?
'Socha Na Tha' for me is the world in which Viren and Aditi meet each other.

You have worked in television for several years and with Socha na tha you’ve entered the world of feature films. How would you differentiate TV from Cinema?
here are the obvious dissimilarities. TV is a scenario where people going about their daily household work look at the small screen from time to time where as cinema is a medium where a captive audience is seated in a dark room looking at a big screen without any distraction.

Was it difficult handling already established stars that have played character roles in your film as compared to the new lead actors?
There were some difficulties because they had come with certain ideas. It was also a lot easy for me because I didn’t have to tell them about the basics. And each of these actors had the ability to get rid of their baggage and become fresh for me.
