The director is humbled by the praise pouring in for the Amazon Prime Video offering. However, the perfectionist in him admits that whenever he watches the film, he wishes he had done a few things differently. “I would like to reshoot the whole film,” he jokes, before adding, “Creativity is never-ending. Often, after I finish my day’s shoot, I feel like doing it all over again. There is nothing wrong [with the scenes shot], but I keep wanting to make it perfect.”
Of all the appreciation coming his way, the filmmaker holds producer Karan Johar’s praise closest to his heart. “Karan said, ‘I am so proud of this film. You have gone [above and] beyond with this movie.’ I am touched by people’s love, but the most important thing is when your producer says that he is proud of [the endeavour].” The war drama has led to a deep friendship between the two. “I will definitely do another film with Karan,” he promises.
