Why did you not direct PHOONK 2?
It doesn’t matter who’s directing the film as long as it enthralls the audience. I had great faith in Milind, who has also written the script for Phoonk 2. Besides, I was busy with Rakta Charitra.
We shout out loud when a director gives away a sequel, but in Hollywood, it is commonplace for film franchises to shift hands.
Just like PHOONK, this film too is being promoted by way of contests.
Contests are a way of promoting the film, just like theatrical trailers or any other innovative ideas. They are no big deal.
Is it because you don’t have a huge star cast?
It is not like I did not have stars in Bhoot or any of my previous films. It’s more important to have believable characters in a film rather than stars. Moreover, the decision to have stars has to be made on a project-by-project basis.
Karan Johar recently said on Twitter that he dreamed of being scared while watching PHOONK 2 and then holding your hand…
(Laughs) I really did not know where that came from. But yes, I replied back saying that I was scared of the hand-holding part!
Do you tweet often?
I have a presence on the site but I think that Twitter is a nonsensical medium.
