Actor
Harsh Chhaya is making his debut as a filmmaker with 'Khajoor Pe Atke'. The actor who has been in the industry for almost two decades, feels, that while an actor switches off when he stops shooting, that does not happen when you don the director's hat. When you turn director, you are emotionally involved with the product.
He says, "My perceptions have changed now and I really feel that it is just incredible if a film is finally complete.
There are all kinds of minds working with you, and they have the power to suggest changes (producers, marketing, technicians) and yet you have to keep your focus and complete the film. Also, there is this worry around a friend who you promised something when you shared the thought of making a film, and now you do not have a role for him. So, while you make a film, you have to say no to many people and just move on. You work with so many people and manage an entire crew of 100 people. So it is really surprising or incredible that a film is finally complete."
