However, the actor-turned-director himself is not part of the cast.`
Himanshu says, `I was not happy with the offers coming my way as they were extremely mundane and boring. So I started writing and
I enjoying the process. I asked why not take this ahead?` `
The director had his fair share of troubles too while making the
film. He points out, `The lead actor disappeared and didn't come back.
`
The girls in my film called Amit who was shopping somewhere in Lokhandwala. He came, read the script and within 15 minutes he
was shooting. He hit me like a jolt of lighting.` `

make maximum people watch the film. He explains, `In the West, we will show the film on pay-per-view.`
