"It was my birthday, yes, but we have been shooting for our home production, Desi Magic," says Ameesha, adding that she has earlier spent her big day on film sets — Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000), Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001), Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), Humraaz (2002) and Race 2 (2013). "And they all turned out to be lucky," she says.
Asked about Desi Magic's release, she admits it has been a long journey. "By now, I should have been on the set of my next home production, but due to certain issues, the film is taking time. We changed the script to an extent and made the scale bigger and better. So, we are not really complaining about the delay; if anything, it has only helped make the film better."
Ameesha believes the time spent on making a film doesn't matter as long as the result is good. "The audience comes to the theatres for a good film and not for a film that's made on time. We have seen several of them not even surviving till Monday (day four). Kuunal (Goomer, production partner) and I are not making a small film. As first-time producers, we are making a big, entertaining film and that too on our own," she reasons. She is confident of the film and hopes the audience appreciates her efforts. She is eyeing a November release. "An official announcement will be made by September end."
