You seem to have scaled down from your debut, which was shot in Las Vegas, to set the new movie closer home (Coonoor and Mumbai). I was sincere, but the film lacked maturity. I was not a 100 percent satisfied with Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu.
But what if I wanted to go big in depth, character and psyche? I wanted to go where the story was more important than the gloss, glamour and scale. I picked this genre because people were saying it’s time to do a big, commercial film, with big names and numbers. We had stopped doing contemporary family dramas, besides the occasional Dil Dhadakne Do. Then the rom-com and action films took over. I think we had probably reached the saturation point of being too sugary. The family drama used to be the most common genre in Hindi cinema, but we hardly see such films any more. You must learn to accept people for who they are and find a common ground before it’s too late. The idea is that there is no way you can change your family. I love Hannah and Her Sisters and reunion films, which are loaded with secrets from the past, and what happens to these unresolved issues when they resurface. But once we grow up and break out, we understand better what families are really about. Previously there was a way in which we represented a family in film. How do you make yet another film about a dysfunctional family?Īctually I think dysfunctional is the new normal. The March 18 release is the latest dysfunctional family drama, in which Fawad Khan and Sidharth Malhotra play brothers who fall for Alia Bhatt’s character.
