Manisha in a still from 'Chaahat- Ek Nasha' |
Any plans on direction?
Yes. I plan to direct a film. It will be a short film, running time about 15 minutes. I intend casting seven or eight stage actors in my film and the subject will have a feel of the jhopadbattis in the slum areas. I intend shooting the film for 15 days in and around Dharavi. It is a concept with the accent on fun.
What about the release plans of the short film?
I am aiming at entering it at International Film festivals in the short film category, including the forthcoming Mumbai International Film Festival of Short Films, Documentaries and Animation Films.
Are there any new lessons that you have learned from the industry in the recent past?
Not to do films like 'Chahaat- Ek Nasha' (co-starring Aryan Vaid, Preeti Jhangiani), which gave me a lot of flak from the critics and public.
Didn't you realize during its making that it was going absolutely haywire?
I did. At that point of time, however, it had gone beyond the point where I could put my foot down and not disturb the whole process. Chalta hai. We all make mistakes, don't we? |
