Q. What's the film Ek Hazarachi Note about?
A. Ek Hazarachi Note is a dark comedy, on how society overpowers common people. It's about an old woman, who lives life happily but one incident changes everything in her life. My film is not a typical Marathi movie or (made) only for (the typical) Marathi audience. It's concept can be understood by all.

Q. You have produced several short films and feature films, and now you are making your debut as a director. What do you enjoy the most — production or direction? Please tell us a little about the films you have produced so far?
A. I feel it (direction) is an extension of the work that I have done till now. I started with production and I enjoy it also. I have produced Eliza Hittman's It Felt like Love, which made its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival (USA), and was also screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (Netherlands) to great reviews. This film is set for release in the US next month. Before that I produced Pervertigo, another American Indie feature film, for writer-director Jaron Henrie-McCrea, which was shown at the Warsaw and Mumbai film festivals in 2012.
