It happened during the shoot of Makdee (2002). Aasmaan Bhardwaj was only seven at the time, but as he stood on the set of his filmmaker-father Vishal Bhardwaj’s directorial debut, he knew he wanted to be a director. “The ambience, the energy, it all fascinated me in such a way that then and there, I made up my mind on [growing up to become a filmmaker],” he begins.
Over 20 years on, Aasmaan has realised his ambition. His directorial debut, Kuttey, opens in screens today. Interestingly, he had first written the crime comedy in January 2019 while studying filmmaking. “I had finished an assignment earlier. My teacher said that since we had about six months in hand, I could write [another story] till I graduated,” he recollects. Little did he know then that he would turn director with this script. When the time came, it was his filmmaker-father who helped him take the decision. “I went to my father with five scripts, of which two were shortlisted. He explained that Kuttey’s script is unique, and would be a better pick for my first film because of the way it is written. We both felt it would also showcase me as a writer.”
