MUMBAI: Aamir Khan’s brother Faissal is all set to don the hat of a director.

He is turning director with his comeback film 'Faactory'.

However, he wasn’t the film’s director from the onset.

In an interview with a leading daily, Faissal, who plays an edgy lover in this thriller, revealed how his tryst with direction came about.

On being asked why he chose to direct this film, Faissal told ETimes, “The movie was being directed by Shariq Minhaz. I have done many small films in my career, especially after ‘Mela’ and ‘Madhosh’ flopped. I was working hard, but they were either not made in the right way, or were not released in the right way. All my efforts became zero on these films and here Shariq was not able to give time to the project, so I said to myself, ‘I hope this project does not go that way, too’. I am growing old, so, I put my foot down and told the producers about what I felt. They said why don’t you direct it?”

Further, he added, “I spoke to Shariq Bhai and told him, ‘Since you are not able to give time, things could get difficult. I have a strong belief in this project and I am ready to put my heart and soul into it.’ I was totally involved in the project, so I took over the reins as director. I have learnt a lot since the time I joined the film industry as an assistant. Those experiences gave me the courage aur main director bann gaya (I became the director).”

Talking about his marriage plans, he said, “Unfortunately, I have not made enough money to afford a wife and I don’t have any girlfriend, because having one is also an expensive affair. A wife is even more expensive. Picture hit ho toh ladki dhoodna shuru karu (I’ll look for a girl once my film is declared a hit).”
