Director Sanjay Gupta says his 25-year-long career is full of "hits and misses" but looking back, he feels happy that he has managed to bounce back overcoming every adversity. Best known for films such as Kaante, Musafir, Zinda, the Shootout series and Kaabil, Gupta tasted success early by 40, he was on the verge of quitting the industry over some "terrible years" in between.
He made his directorial debut exactly 25 years ago with Aatish: Feel The Fire. The film, starring Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Aditya Pancholi among others, was backed by GP Sippy. "It was the easiest film to cast. I was mostly working with friends. Thanks to Sanju, the film was getting made because no big movie gets made unless you have a star, so that was the start," Gupta told PTI in an interview. He said much of the work he did post his debut is a blur and credits Kaante for a reversal in fortune.
