"Kicka*s team" Nagesh Kukunoor and Elahe Hiptoola discuss their new film Mod, the nature of their relationship and why they are still going strong, 12 films later
After 14 years and 12 films together, the banter between director Nagesh Kukunoor and producer Elahe Hiptoola brings a smile to the face.
The two describe themselves as yin to the other's yang, analytical to the emotional, head to the heart, organiser to the executor. Yet, their distinct roles bind them and make them a formidable team that is now ready to bring out their 12th film, Mod. It stars Ayesha Takia Azmi and Rannvijay Singh. 
Director Nagesh Kukunoor and producer Elahe Hiptoola recently completed
their 12th film together. Titled Mod, it is an adaptation of a Taiwanese film
and stars Ayesha Takia Azmi and VJ Rannvijay Singh.

Over an evening cuppa at their stark suburban office, the duo discusses films.
One expects original stories from Nagesh Kukunoor. Why did you adapt the Taiwanese film, Keeping Watch, into Mod?
(Nagesh) I had said that I would never do a love story, because I had nothing original to offer. Every year, more than 100 love stories get made. I saw Keeping Watch at a film festival and I was attracted to the relationship between a mismatched pair. You want to see the outcome of their relationship. It is not a standard, commercial setting where the hero sees the heroine and love is sealed in a second.
