Insights from Kunal Khemu on His Directorial Journey
Reflecting on his journey into direction, Kunal Khemu shared his thoughts with PTI, revealing the initial uncertainty he faced. "I didn't even know if it would become a film. Writing was like a practice session for me to see if I could do it. It was a solitary process, and no one knew I was writing it. In fact, I thought if it ever got made, maybe I would play one of the boys; that’s why I wrote it," Khemu said.
He further elaborated on his choice of genre, noting, "Comedy is something that easily resonates and is one of the most watched genres in the world. As an actor, I love comedy. Moreover, it was easier to pitch that he's good at comedy; let’s at least read what he has written in comedy. I am fortunate to have gotten the chance."
