I find it strange that you did nothing but wait even while Hazaaron took three years to release.
I shouldn't have [waited]? What would you have done? For three years every month they would say it's going to release next month. I was very confident of the film, so I waited. The moment I would think of doing something else they said next month we are starting the publicity.
They released the song Bawra Man on television and the promos of the film started twice. They were trying to send it to the festivals first and were themselves trying to make up their mind on how they wanted to release the film. I am very impatient but I wanted Hazaaron to be my first film. I think I did the right thing by waiting.
But was not Sins (top) your first movie to release?
Yes it was. Two-and-a-half years after shooting Hazaaron the script of Sins came along. It was based on a true story -- an excellent character to play but not executed correctly. That's not in my control. The only thing I can read is the script. I still say the script was great. It did not turn out the way it was expected. But thankfully within in a month after that Hazaaron released.
