Producer Harry Baweja and his estranged director Hansal Mehta seem to be heading on a collision course. But Hansal doesn't seem to like it one bit.

"I've too much on my plate, and I'm sure Harry too is busy, to get into this tu-tu-main-main situation. My new film Anjaan is releasing in two weeks. I need to focus on that, not on Anurag Kashyap," Hansal is a tad sarcastic about Harry Baweja's claim that the director intervened on behalf of Kashyap.

Laughs Hansal, "Please I'm no one to take up cudgels on Anurag or anyone else's behalf. Where have I spoken about Anurag's payment? It's true that Anurag had initially written the script for Harry's new Urmila starrer."

"But now I think the script has been completely reworked by Harry's son Harman. I haven't met Anurag in ages. I once recently ran into him at a traffic signal where he asked me about his payment from Harry. That's it. I've no interest in Anurag's interests. He has his problems, I've mine."

Hansal is hurt by Harry's claim about suffering heavy losses in producing Hansal's sex comedy Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai.

"I'm very sorry Harry had to suffer losses on my account. It was very kind of him to back me in spite of my lack of boxoffice clout. But couldn't we've sorted this out on our own instead of going to the press? Even the Kunal Kohli-Vashu matter seems so embarrassing in print. Why make a public issue out of a private matter?"

""I'd have preferred to talk to Harry. In fact I messaged him after I read Harry's statements about me. He didn't respond. I wonder why he's letting out steam. Right now all I'm thinking about is my new film Anjaan. It has shaped up very well."
