Asked what made him don the hat of a producer, Bazmee told IANS: "By the grace of God, I already have a successful career as a film director and writer. So, when I decided to produce a film that I have written, it did not come from the idea of making more money but doing different films and experimenting more. As a producer, I want to support content-driven films.
"I have seen how story writers have faced difficulties to get a film made. I want to support those young film directors as well," he added. On collaborating with Chitrangada, Bazmee said: "I wrote the story and shared it with her. She liked the story so much that she decided to produce the film. Talking about casting, no, I have not finalised anything. And I didn't keep Chitrangada in mind while writing it. But things are too premature to talk about it."
His multi-starrer film Mubarakan, which performed well at the box office, will premiere on television on Saturday. Considering the fact that the reach of a film has been extended from theatres to satellite and digital platform, Bazmee is thankful for his films that managed to create an impact on all the mediums.
He said: "It is good that people are taking the digital reach seriously. Whether it is &lsquo;No Entry', &lsquo;Singh is Kinng' or any other film of mine, some of them are among the most watched films on TV. "Hopefully, my film &lsquo;Mubarakan' will also come under the same category. For me, the success of a film does not depend just on the box office number but its impact on people's mind too. If a family entertainer is watched several times on TV, for me, that is success too." "Mubarakan" will be aired on Sony Max on Saturday.
