Shaad Ali's white hair should in no way be an indication of his age. On the contrary, it should be an indicator of the time it has spent in the industry. He was there with Shekhar Kapur when he was a child when Mr. India saw its many trials, it was there when Shah Rukh Khan danced on a crooner train Chhaiyya Chhaiyya and he was also present when Gulzar wrote " Kajra Re Shaad is back with his sixth film, Soorma – a biopic about former Indian hockey captain Sandeep Singh.
It's a nice show to see the director comfortably seated in his chair, giving successive interviews. It was unimaginable a few years ago because an empty chair would then have hosted the media. Shaad has always been considered shy by the media, but is now socially reformed. "After Bunty Aur Babli I felt like a shell and I was not there to promote my films.There were several reasons and one was my personality.More 39, said that a director is the captain of the ship and that he should never abandon him and carry him through. "The incognito phase of Shaad also coincided with the divorce with his first woman

After dealing with genres of comedy, music, and action in the past, Shaad has now opted for a real drama with [19659002] Soorma Shaad admits that he knew Sandeep Singh as a hockey player, but that he had no idea of the tragic events of his life. "Sandeep m & # Had given a written essay to Devanagari, of about twenty pages, which spoke of his entire history. He was shocking and shocked me, "said the director.
Shaad played hockey and followed the game closely and is therefore aware of the disparity that exists with respect to cricket. The game is in perspective. "Before the turf came into play, it was very easy for the eyes. It was also the time when India won eight Olympic gold medals and Dhyanchand was at its peak. The introduction of turf by the West was more of a ploy. They knew that the Indians were dribbling masters and with the turf, they took it away. It took us a long time and now we are again the kings of the peat. "
Soorma is also a different film in Shaad's repertoire.For the first time, he works with actors rather than with stars.Shaad disagrees with the statement and informs that he only worked with actors in his films. "To be honest, my films never had stars except Amit ji (Jhoom Barabar Jhoom) and Shah Rukh Khan once as a guest-guest ( Saathiya ). Abhishek (Bachchan), Bobby (Deol), Priety (Zinta), Ranveer (Singh) were relatively smaller than the next group of stars when they acted in my films. "Shaad also adds that he would like to work with the stars but the essence of the film should be real." It has become easy these days to work with the stars because they are making efforts. Salman (Khan), Aamir (Khan) have no qualms about putting on weight for a movie and SRK is a game to change his appearance. It has become such an open field where the talent of stars and actors has become one. "
A look at Shaad's filmography and we meet such constants as Gulzar, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Mani Ratnam.He mentions that it is very difficult to visualize a film in their absence "It's almost impossible to visualize a movie without them. A factor will always be there. Gulzar saab was present in all my films and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy was present except for two. Mani sir was there for me every day, if not in my movie that I'm in his movie. The exchange will never stop. "
Shaad also remembers when he came into contact with his pillars.It is during the writing of Dil Se that he came into contact with Gulzar for the This was also a phase where he played the role of bridge between Ratnam, AR Rahman and Gulzar, the first two barely knowing Hindi. "Gulzar Saab only wanted that Whatever he writes for the film, the essence should reach Mani sir and Rahman in the correct way and in this phase of translation, I got closer to him. 19659002] Roja, he became obsessed with Mani's films. The urge to help was so strong that he even took a train to Chennai from Jhansi to meet him because there were no direct trains from Kanpur. "I went to see him but he told me that he was not doing anything at that time.I came back to Kanpur and I lost some three years.Then I came to know that he had just finished Iruvar and I felt sorry for missing that opportunity.I met him again and he informed me that he He was looking for me at that time, he was busy with the pre-production of Alai Payuthey but in the absence of a climax, dismissed him and jumped on Dil Se. "Later, when Mani was approached to do a Hindi remake of Alai Payuthey he suggested the name of Shaad, citing the reason he was not there. was not in the mood to lead the Hindi version.

"Live-in relationship is no longer a big problem in Mumbai." There was no drama in this film and the film looked a bit superficial. " Kill Dil [19659007] according to Shaad, lacked balance and people found events difficult to digest in the second period Jhoom Barabar Jhoom looked more like an arrow shot in the air that could have gone n & # Anywhere. "We were well prepared about Jhoom Barabar Jhoom that this could be a hit or just a box office failure."
Just to satisfy the curiosity of this writer, one can not help but ask worked as an badistant when Chhaiya Chhaiya was filmed? "My job was to prevent Shah Rukh, Sir Mani, Farah (Khan) and Santosh Sivan from falling off the train, and I also made sure the tree branches were removed when the train was moving," Shaad informs. with a laugh.
