Milap Zaveri calls himself fortunate to go back to direction two years after his last venture hit screens. "After Mastizaade, it could have been two decades [before I returned]," laughs the director, as he references his sex-comedy that failed to appease viewers. Zaveri's next, the upcoming patriotic drama Satyameva Jayate, is in stark contrast to his last film.
"It has been a long, hard wait. I wanted to make a movie that I could be proud of. After Mastizaade, I decided against attempting the genre again, regardless of whether it works [sells] or not," he says. His decision to adopt the change, he admits, stems from the fact that he wishes to make movies his three-year-old son Mehaan can eventually watch. "A senior journalist had once casually remarked that no matter what I did, I would always be known as the king of adult comedies. When I die, I don't want to be remembered that way. It will hurt my soul," says Zaveri.
