It is not about a sexual driven theme. I am talking about man-woman driven relationships with sexuality as the focus. I think there is a great difference between the words sex, sexual and sexuality. So let's not confuse things. But having said that I wanted to do a trilogy on a man-woman relationship with sexuality which started in 1996 with Dayraa. Then I did Anahaat and this is the third in the trilogy.

I don't think my film will have a problem. The issues that I am dealing with are not for any kind of sensational purposes nor are they for decorative purposes. I am dealing with a man-woman relationship and not with homo-sexuality as the focal point. Homo-sexuality is one of the issues that I am discussing in context with their relationship. So I don't think there should be any problem. But yes, it is a taboo kind of subject and when we talk about sexuality we become alarmed unnecessarily. But I don't think there is anything to be alarmed about.

I make my films because I want to share a particular story with as many people possible. That has always been the starting point of my creative journey while making a film. I don't start from the star cast and then go to the story. I start with the story and then go to the star cast. I have made films with stars like Nana Patekar, Sonali Bendre, Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepti Naval. I also happened to make a film with a star called Amol Palekar. So a big star cast is nothing new to me. My characters need to be good actors to begin with. I take them for their acting capacity and not for their stardom. If they are stars or super stars then it is a bonus that I am getting. What I am looking at is the performance and the actors in this film have given superb performances.

Trilogy doesn't mean I make 3 films one after the other. Trilogy means a thematic trilogy. It is not a sequel to any film. A thematic bond between three films is called a trilogy. It's not as if Dayraa part 2 is Anaahat and Dayraa 3 is Quest.

A good film-an excellent film! A film which people would not only love to see but also take it home with them and not keep it back in the auditorium with the empty pop-corn boxes.
