Your D Company which opens a week after, looks a lot like Sanjay Gupta's Mumbai Saga?
Well, the subject matter is in the public domain and everyone will have their own interpretation. I frankly don’t know what Mumbai Saga is about but I can say that D Company is the asli Mumbai Saga.
Two films on the Mumbai underworld within a week?
I guess the best film will win as in the cliché ‘May The Best Win’.
Do you think the audience is ready to return to the movie theatres in spite of Covid?
That’s as good a guess as anybody’s guess. But we have to start somewhere
Sanjay Gupta and you share a lifelong passion for films on the underworld what is your opinion on his cinema?
I frankly believe in being raw and realistic whereas he believes in style.
Tell me about the actor who plays Dawood
His name is Ashwat Kanth and I chose him after auditioning more than 35 actors. He’s playing a 26 year old Dawood.
What will you do if the real Dawood doesn't like the reel Dawood in your film?
Trust me that he will love him.
