"I came to make films like 'Yahaan' and 'Madras Cafe'. I never thought I will do a comedy film," Shoojit said here on Saturday.
Shoojit picked a love story between an army officer and a girl in Kashmir to be his directorial debut through "Yahaan", and then made a film on an important subject sperm donation in a light manner in 2012 with "Vicky Donor".
After a light take on a serious subject, he tried to account the processes leading to Rajiv Gandhi's tragic assassination in 1991 with semi-fictional account "Madras Cafe".
His last film "Piku", which highlights the children-parent relationship, was a commercial hit and generated rave reviews.
But Shoojit says box office numbers are never a source of worry to him.
"I don't bother about box office collection. My intention is to recover all the money that I spent on the film and for the producer after that I don't care," said Sircar, who has projects like "Agra Ka Daabra" and "1911" in his kitty.
Shoojit was a part of the film market, organised by National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) which is underway till November 24, for a session named "A journey in storytelling".
