Quiz him on whether he'd like to revisit Raat Baaki with a different cast and he says, `I haven't figured my next film yet but it will be one of the scripts I've written over the last seven years. It could be Raat Baaki which is a fun film. Everybody was sad when things didn't materialise. I don't rule out the possibility of another film either. Uri was an exhausting film and I'm on a break right now but will soon return to one of my ideas.`
Uri is the most successful film helmed by a debutant, surpassing the previous record holder Sajid Nadiadwala's Salman Khan's Kick. Aditya is understandably proud of the feat, he believes records are meant to be broken. `Not in our wildest dream did we think we would get so much appreciation and adulation from the audience. It was a special film as it was a tribute to the army, but the numbers we have earned are insane given it was my debut as a director and Vicky's first commercial film as the solo lead. I hope, some other debutant breaks my record soon,` he smiles, admitting it's overwhelming when politicians use lines from his film like `How's The Josh?` and `Yeh Naya India Hai.`
After Uri, Vicky has become a mainstream Hindi actor and Aditya hopes to see his hero scale new heights. `He has reached this position after a lot of struggle and toil. He's got talent so this thing was bound to happen, sooner or later. It's just that I recognised his potential as a commercial actor before anyone else,` Aditya concludes with a twinkle.
