I am more than happy that though my film is an animation one, it has got a major release. Well, that decision is taken by the producers and I completely trust their decision. Given a choice, would you rather not have released Delhi Safari on the same weekend as Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year? What is the need to feel sorry for him? Charlie Chaplin, for instance… I think post death the old man will only be in a better place than he was before. Just the other day a colleague walked in saying an old man died.
That is my attitude towards life and death. We noticed a pattern in KHNH and DS - you build up an emotional scene and then throw in a joke. Also, Delhi Safari had star voices (Govinda, Urmila Matondkar, Suniel Shetty, Boman Irani and Akshaye Khanna), so I had to deal with the baggage that comes with it. But I would definitely like to make another animation film. At times I used to feel that I am meting out stepchild treatment to DS. While I making DS, I completed making Chandni Chowk To China and Patiala House. I am grateful to the producers for keeping the faith in the project and seeing it through. Making an animation film involves a lot of hard work and investment. Is it easier to make an animation film than one that involves star egos?ĭelhi Safari has been in the making for the past six years or so. I am glad that people are liking Delhi Safari and that it will be counted among the good films of the year, like Kahaani, Vicky Donor, etc. We were counting on YRF and Dharma Productions to be the pioneers of animation films, but unfortunately their films ( Roadside Romeo and Koochie Koochie Hota Hai respectively) didn’t work.
