Milap Zaveri became popular for his adult comedies but at this juncture in his career, he has realised that he was limiting himself as a filmmaker and now wants to explore other genres.Zaveri wrote dialogues for sex comedies like “Grand Masti”, “Kya Kool Hai Hum 3” and directed Sunny Leone-starrer “Mastizaade”.”I’ll never direct a sex comedy again. I have nothing left to do in that genre. I’ve exhausted myself as a creative person in those movies. I have nothing against the genre. I’d keep watching them but as a director, as a writer, I’m done with it. It doesn’t excite me anymore,” Zaveri told PTI.Though he was a writer for films like “Ek Villain”, “Shootout at Wadala” among others, Zaveri was mostly associated with adult comedies- something which bothered him when “Mastizaade” tanked at the box office.
\n“The tag didn’t bother me till ‘Mastizaade’ failed. After that it bothered me. I felt I was underselling myself. I was capable of something more. You tend to get slotted in what you choose. I chose to write and direct sex comedies so I got slotted.”That’s my fault. Only I could help myself get out of that tag so I made ‘Raakh’, a short film. That was important because I was appreciated and people thought I can do this too,” he adds.Zaveri says the failure of the film put a dent, as several of his projects found trouble taking off.”At that point I was ready to do anything because I needed work. I was signed by Kumar Mangat sir for a film called ‘Paagpanti’ it didn’t happen because no actor wanted to work with me. I was supposed to do a film with Pritish Nandy.”But that didn’t happen again because no hero wanted to do it. After ‘Raakh’ was appreciated, I decided I want to make an action film,” he says.He finally zeroed on “Satyameva Jayate”, his latest action-drama featuring John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee.
\nZaveri took one and a half months to write “Satyameva Jayate”, but the idea was with him since 18 years. Initially wanting to turn it into a web series, he started writing it as a feature after his industry friends suggested him the same.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
