Not many directors get a chance to direct their first film for a really reputed and well-known production house.

However, debutant director Kaushik Ghatak is an exception as he has just directed his first film Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi for Rajshri Productions Pvt. Ltd.

Having started his career in the television industry and directed numerous soaps, Kaushik is now excited as it has always been his dream to direct films. This soft-spoken to director opened up to us and shared his experiences on working with one of the country's oldest and most reputed production houses.

How do you feel getting a chance to debut with a banner like Rajshri?
It's an honor for any director to work with Rajshri Productions. After working with them, I have realized that Rajshri is not just a big production house but an institution in itself.

I have learnt so much from them about filmmaking that I will remember and make use of it throughout my life. In-spite of being such a reputed production house that has made so many hit films, the people at Rajshri are so down to earth.

They treated me so well that I never felt that I'm a new comer. It was like working in a family environment and an extremely pleasant experience.

How did films happen to you?
I started with still photography and then I did small course from AAFT Noida. After that I came to Bombay and got an opportunity to work in the television industry.

Professionally speaking, whatever I'm today is all because of Kyunki..Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. People noticed my talent and realized that I could direct.

After that I directed many shows such as Sanjeevani, Woh Rahne Wali Mahlon Kki, and Pyar Ke Do Naam - Ek Radha Ek Shyam. By the grace of God, most of them were successful. Television gave me lot of popularity but deep down I always knew that I want to make a film.

The film's lead actor Sonu Sood's name in the film is 'Prem'. Over the years 'Prem' has been a name synonymous with most of Rajshri actors be it Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan or even Shahid Kapoor. Is that why you stuck to Prem even in Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi?
When we were thinking about the name of the main protagonist a lot of options did cross our mind but then we thought why not stick to 'Prem' which has always been popular in Rajshri Films.

I told Soorajji that Prem's copyright is with you and if you give me the right to use it in this film, I will be more than happy. He willingly agreed and I am honored to have the main protagonist's name as 'Prem'.

With a title like Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi, one gets the feeling that it is a sequel to Rajshri's earlier hit Vivaah. Is it so?
Let me make it clear that my film is not a sequel to Vivaah. It's a completely different story altogether. We chose the title as Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi because the name is apt for the film.

It's a story of these two characters Prem and Chandni who are never together physically, they have never even touched each other yet they live in each other's hearts completely. It's a story of togetherness.

Finally what is the USP of Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi?
The simplicity of the film is its USP. It's a very simple narrated story to which any ordinary human being can easily relate with.
