Director's fixation the reason behind Parsi milieu in 'FKS'

In Bollywood where Zoroastrians (Parsis) are often treated in comic light, debutant director Rajesh Mapuskar tried to bring forward their, high living standards and jolly nature in Ferrari Ki Sawari. He attributes his fixation to his childhood days when he used to visit his Parsi aunt in Mumbai.
“Everything in them (Parsis) is so different. I would wonder then as if I am in some wonderland.Those gori gori larkian and their way of living,” said Rajesh adding, “They keep their things so clean. Their homes are done up symmetrically while their sartorial sense is amazing. That has been the very reason behind the plot of Ferrari Ki Sawaari being set in the Parsi milieu,” he said, adding, “They are above what many call Dikras. And they are very dashing yet simple people.”
Often Bollywood has not shied away from mocking the Parsis, but Rajesh said he wanted to highlight their other side, the one that he experienced as a child. That’s why the old ‘Priya’ scooter of Sharman in the movie is scratchless. “Because they adore their vehicles like their kids,” said Rajesh. Sharman’s character (Rustam) also has a lot to do with Rajesh’s experience, as many of his aunt’s neighbours were Rustams. “I have grown up listening to this name,” he said.
