Well-known writer Milap Zaveri is ready to take the plunge. After writing a number of successful films, the talented writer is ready to don a new role -- direction. Milap's directorial debut, tentatively titled Jaane Kahan Se Aayee Hain, will star Ritesh Deshmukh, Ayesha Takia and Ruslan Mumtaz (who made his debut in Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar) in lead roles.
Nikhil Advani and Mukesh Talreja will produce the film, which is expected to roll in August/ September. “Three people were instrumental in helping me take this big step. Ritesh and I had developed a great rapport in Australia, when he was shooting for Heyy Babyy. I owe a lot to him. Sajid Khan allowed me to learn the ropes of filming during the Australia schedule. I keenly observed the entire process of Heyy Babyy and Sajid was gracious enough to allow me to be his assistant. The third person is, of course, Nikhil Advani. I generally discuss my scripts with him. When I narrated the plot of this film to Nikhil, he promptly said that he'd like to produce it. I was speechless… and flattered,” Milap reminisces.
What's Jaane Kahan Se Aayee Hain all about? “It's a romantic-comedy with the fantasy element thrown in and lots of visual effects. It's aimed at the youngsters and families,” he divulges. Any inspirations? “I haven't copied any film. If there're any references, it could be because the genre is attempted abroad, not in India. The moment the idea germinated, I started working on it,” Milap admits.
