At present your serial ‘Agnihotra’ has reached popularity heights. Would you mind sharing your idea about making this serial ?
I happened to trace the theme for this serial, when we had organized a ceremony to mark the birth centenary of my father. At that time, we had issued an advertisement in newspaper inviting all the far relatives to attend this ceremony. Looking at the overwhelming response coming from the participants, I was myself shocked to know about this huge chain of relatives network. Impressed with the bonding in a big joint family system, I decided to make a serial based on this theme.
You have been always offering chance to newcomers through your serials, who later become big stars. How do you feel about it ?
Whether it was ‘Pimplepaan’, ‘Ghadlay Bighadlay’ or ‘Agnihotra’, right from the beginning, I was very particular about selecting the right artist for the role he or she perfectly fitted in. Working with new artistes always offers flexibility to the director, for experimenting something new with them, as they too are responsive. This is not possible with established artistes. Having given the freedom to experiment something different, the new artistes come out with their best and that enables them to turn stars, in years to come.
After playing the role as a writer, a lyricist, a director and the producer, what’s in the pipeline now ?
Presently , I am working on few good projects and soon you will see them on screen.
Thanks for your time,
My pleasure. |
