Filmmaker Sabbir Khan, who currently awaits the release of his upcoming film Nikamma, has revealed to IANS what is more daunting in the movie business — producing or directing a film.
Sabbir, who currently awaits the release of his upcoming Nikamma, has revealed to IANS what is more daunting – producing or directing a film.
“Directing comes naturally to me. I enjoy it. Producing is daunting because there is a little more responsibility that I have to take, which I might not have to take as a director,” Sabbir Khan said.
Sabbir Khan added: “As a director I can fight on the set on the given day that every shot is correct, every artiste’s performance is correct. As a producer, the job never ends. Are they (audience) happy going back home, is the film well-received as i thought. Am I fighting for the right posters, theatres? It never ends. That job doesn’t end.”
Based on the Telugu film ‘Middle Class Abbayi’, the film Nikamma is directed by Sabbir Khan, and also stars Shilpa Shetty, Abhimanyu Dassani, Shirley Setia, Samir Soni and Abhimanyu Singh among others.
The action comedy film – produced by Shabbir Khan Films and Sony Pictures India – was initially scheduled for a June 2020 release but owing to Covid-19 and the ensuring lockdowns was postponed. Nikamma now releases in theatres on June 17.
