Shubh Mukherjee further said, ‘I was doing a film with Rishi Kapoor. The name of the film was ‘Aai Bala Ko Tal Tu’. Due to his/her poor health a film had to be stopped. I was the executive producer in that film. Even then I was struggling with financial constraints. That film got stuck, but I never stopped anyone’s money. Today, when I read somewhere that a producer has frozen people’s money, I start thinking because I have never done that. It has always been my endeavor to ensure that the people associated with our film get their money.

‘Learned the love of cinema from Rishi Kapoor ji’

Shubh considers himself lucky that he/she has got the opportunity to work with a veteran actor like Rishi Kapoor. he/she says, ‘It is true that ‘Aai Bala Ko Taal Tu’ could not be completed, but when I think about it today, I feel that the happy aspect of that film was Rishi ji’s company. This film also featured actors like Shilpa Shukla, Divya Dutta. We had completed seventy percent of the film shooting.

‘Then I was telling stories before their time’

Talking about his/her career journey, he/she had this to say, ‘When I started my career as an assistant director, I was just 17 years old. he/she was an assistant director in films like ‘Taare Zameen Par’, ‘Dhoom 2’. After that I did a film like ‘Shakal Pe Mat Jaa’ as an independent director. There were actors like Raghubir Yadav, Aamna Sharif and Saurabh Shukla in that film.

‘At that time I felt that maybe I was telling stories before my time. I also felt that I should be more technically advanced. Over the years I have enriched myself technically. I kept shooting many ad campaigns and documentary films. I learned a lot from the advertising world and documentary films.

‘Rajamouli Sahab’s humility was a sight to behold’

Recently, he/she directed Pan India director SS Rajamouli in an ad campaign. Describing his/her experience, he/she said, ‘I was quite nervous while working with him/her, because working with an actor is different, but It was natural to be nervous about directing a well-known filmmaker like Rajamouli, who is an accomplished technician himself. I had not seen many of his/her films. I had watched one of his/her documentary films on OTT, due to which I had created an amazing connect with him/her.

‘Working with him/her I discovered why he/she is such a great director? Not once did he/she make me feel new or small. Not even once did he/she say that this position would be better or that angle would be right. his/her only concern was that the work be done on time. On the set he/she was a complete director’s actor. I learned a lot from him/her, especially humility and staying down to earth.
