'Slumdog Millionaire's co-director Loveleen Tandan might not be getting as much coverage as director Danny
Boyle, actors Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Dev Patel, Freida Pinto and the rest but the lady's really very proud about
being associated with the award winning movie.
But the lady who's done so much for the film, is still to come to terms about the hysteria surrounding the film.
She's said, "I'm taken aback by the success of 'Slumdog Millionaire'. I've contributed so much to it, I never felt I
wasn't part of it. I never needed any endorsement."
The Oscar glory is something she's still enjoying.
She's said, "My favourite moment at the Oscars was when A R Rahman came on stage and started to sing 'O
Saya' with the dancers. I got goose bumps, and within seconds I was weeping. I felt so homesick at that moment.
My worst nightmare was I'd trip and fall on my saree on red carpet."
Now there are talks about Anil Kapoor wanting to produce a film which she would direct. But she's still not sure
about the future, including whether Danny Boyle would work with her later or not.
She's said, "I'll be doing my own film now. I'm scripting it. All I can say about it is that it won't be a female-centric
film just because I am making it.
I don't see myself as only a woman. My film will have strong voices
from both strong men and women characters.
As of now, I'm busy with the making of ‘Slumdog
Millionaire'. There was a guy Sujeet filming the entire crew and unit shooting our film. And I think there's a book on
the making of ‘Slumdog Millionaire' coming up."
Looks like this talented lady has the capability to make great cinematic contributions! Her career is worth
watching out for!
