Dobaaraa is an upcoming movie directed by Anurag Kashyap, and TellyChakkar got in touch with the director and asked him what is the formula for completing movies in such a short span of time, what are his upcoming projects and much more. 

Tell us the formula for completing a movie in such a short span of time. How do you manage to do it?

I always complete my movies in a short span of time. To be honest, professionals have a schedule, but I don’t. I am not the boss on the sets of the movie. My AD, my executive producer, and the cinematographer make the schedules and their mind works so fast and if a director has the power to think quicker then things work out.

We shoot only what needs to be done and we shoot in a flow and we hardly take retakes. The process is fast and the actors get the grill of it. I am a visual person so I keep editing and rewriting in my head and I only work with people who have faith in my work or else I don’t.

Is this true that Pavail Gulati was the first choice for Manmarziyaan?

Not at all the actors were at stand-by as it all depended on who would do Romi’s role which was played by Abhishek Bachchan. We hadn’t got the cast for Romi and the actors were short-listed for the other role.

When did you spot Pavail as an actor and thought of casting him in the movie?

I first heard of him through my daughter. Imtiaz Ali’s daughter Ira had made a short movie called “Lift” in which Pavail was the lead and my daughter was the costume designer on the movie. That was the first time I saw him as an actor though I knew him from before. It was my daughter who came and told me I should be working with Pavail.

What are your upcoming projects?

My upcoming project is me as I need to take care of my health first. Then I would be starting with my action movie. I just want to clarify it's not the remake of Kill Bill you can sort of call it the remake of Khoon Bhari Maang but it’s a very interesting movie and the actors along with me are waiting patiently as to when the movie will go on floors.
