How did the thought of exploring the directorial field cross your mind?
Honestly, we didn’t find a director so I had to turn into one (Laughs). Well, we did this film in Marathi in 2014 and the most important reaction I got from almost 99 percent of people was ‘why don’t you try making it in Hindi because this is pretty much a universal subject?’ In the meanwhile, the news reached Sunny paaji that Shreyas has got an interesting script… He asked me for a narration. So I, along with my team of writers narrated the script to him and the first thing he asked was, ‘who is directing?’ But back then, we were still looking for a director.
However, he said, ‘Why don’t you direct it since you have been involved in writing as well as producing in both Hindi and Marathi films. Even if there is any other director on board I am sure you will tell him ki yeh aisa karte hain, yeh waisa karte hain. So it’s better that you do it. We will get some nice associate director and a good team to support you… But tu karle’. My only concern was that personally I wanted to be a part of it as an actor. Everybody else around gave me that confidence that since I am aware of the basics and with a good team by my side I can pull this off well. That’s when I thought about direction.
How long did that take you?
Just a day! I have pretty much done all things in an impulse. Most of the times, if my gut says do it then I jump into it. In fact, when I proposed to my wife that was on the third day after we met each other. I thought about it... ki agar kudna hain toh kudna hain, isme sochna kya? Woh ek dialogue tha na, ki agar soch gehri ho jaye toh iraade kamzor ho jaate hain, so I thought jyada sochne mein koi matlab nahin hain.
How was your first day as a director like?
