The director of De Pyaar De, Akiv Ali, debuts under Luv Ranjan, alongside Ajay Devgn and Tabu- Entertainment News, Firstpost

The humor comes naturally to Akiv Ali, editor turned director. So it's no surprise that he chose to tell an original tale for his first film, De De Pyaar De, who boasts of being a comedian of the New Age novel who sees Ajay Devgn return as a romantic hero. Devgn plays a divorced 50 year old who finds love in Ayesha (26 years old) (played by Rakul Preet). Tabu, meanwhile, plays Devgn's ex-wife.

"The story is very simple. All three play around their age. Ajay falls in love with a much younger woman and when he takes her to meet the family, it leads to madness. Something he thought was simple, he quickly realized that it was quite complicated. It's a pleasure taking. My inspiration comes from reality. It's happening around us. Today, there are many dynamic and evolving relationships. It could also be the opposite with an older woman. It seemed very strange and the world that Luv (Ranjan, screenwriter-producer) created was very amusing, "said Akiv Ali.

Ali, who started his career in 2003 with the Mahesh Bhatt camp and then in other houses of production, has already made about 35 films, including Murder, Gangster Lamhe Woh Barfi Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Once upon a time in Mumbaai (and more) The Dirty Picture a and more recently Directed by Luv Ranjan Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety "I had just been attracted to editing and direction Mahesh Bhatt was a friend of my dad, I was splashing between MBA and advertising, I had a lot less pounds at the time and I had beautiful hair, so I also thought about playing. Mr. Bhatt had stopped directing and he asked me if I wanted to try the editing and I agreed. It was like an escape, so my parents stopped asking me what I wanted to do with my life. I was then 21 years old. I had no idea. The first time I visited a editing studio and saw two monitors and many sophisticated gadgets, I had the impression that it was the world of Star Wars. I finally started to appreciate the process, "he explains.

This is when making Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, Ali says that Ranjan persuaded him to head. "One day, Luv came to see me and told me that he would continue to give me concepts and that I should decide what I would like to address. It is at this time that the story of De Pyaar De was told. At first, I thought the hero would be 40 years old and the girl he would fall for would be 25, but Luv said, "Let's play a little; the guy is 50 years old. Let's do it. " He told me about it. It's a different world and in its entirety, it's been fun, "said the director, who thinks the film's address to all age groups. "Probably people over 50 will be more happy to think that this can happen in their lives as well," he laughs with a laugh.

Ali is often asked if management is easy because he is already an accomplished publisher. "No, it's not so simple. Publishing helped me but it's marginal. As an editor, I try to be very precise, but the direction is a different art form. In addition, the number of clothes you must select will exhaust your talent (laughs). At one point in Mbadi, I was so bored that I said I could not see any more clothes. We had 12 actors and we could not repeat the colors. My respect for the filmmakers grew after this film. A little earlier, sitting in an air-conditioned cabin, I complained about the filmmakers' shooting, but now I know how and why filming can sometimes look bad. When our first schedule was over, I met Siddharth Anand (the director) and he asked me if I would stop abusing filmmakers. "

Ali considers himself lucky to have Devgn and Tabu in his first film." Tabu was the unanimous choice. If we want someone in this age bracket, it must be it. It's a no-brainer. Ajay was the idea of ​​Luv Ranjan because of his natural swag and that easy atmosphere that he has. These two brilliant actors came with the most positive energy possible. possible and they took us as if they told us that we did not need to take any tension, this is the first big film (cast of stars) of this production house. In the event of a natural disaster, they would prolong shooting the next day. For Rakul & # 39; s Part of the team was looking for a new energy, a new face. She has also done remarkable work in the South. I hope to be able to pay them a good movie, "said Ali.

Since the movie was criticized for promoting badism and receiving the post-trailer launch post online, the defender said, "I know Luv is wearing this misogynistic label. but the character of the two women is much stronger than that of the male.This is a modern approach to relationships.There is a lot of comedy, fun, but also a point of view, a perspective, "he says. .

Asked about his influences and inspirations, Ali says, "It's a bit crooked – Subhash Ghai, Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg … now it's going to get a little weirder because I'm more commercial." 39, loves funny movies like Amitabh Bachchan's Agneepath .In fact, I have no influence.I just enjoy the good cinema.But if I could do half (of the work) of the One of the names I took, I would get something. "

While Ali is planning to make another movie, management will not stop him from getting on , his pbadion for pets. "Just as Luv loves to write, I love editing .Yes, I probably will not make as many movies as before." But I will continue to mount Luv's films, as well as those of my producer and creative director, in addition to my own film, "he explains.

But from now on, Ali, who calls himself a badly-bred first director (for speeding), wants to "sleep a little and drink a little". "And then, I'll think about it afterwards.I'm sure I 've exceeded my budget in terms of money and days.I've been shooting for 75 to 80 days, which is too much for a new director, I only edited my film, then had to run the scissors generously, "he laughs heartily.
