After having lost crores of rupees with his first two production ventures, Ajay tries to correct his past mistake with his next!
“I’m excited about U. Me Aur Hum . Though it’s not my first production, it’s the first time I’ve directed a feature film. The first film I produced was Raju Chacha . I was bitten, and have learnt my lessons well…at least I think I have!
” Raju Chacha was an over-budget film. We made news by making the most expensive film at that time. And I realized it wasn’t worth it. We ran into a huge loss. And I decided to concentrate only on acting. I’m more confident now. And have enthusiastically embarked upon U, Me Aur Hum , as actor, director and producer.
“I’ve learnt that a budget of a film can only be decided based on the requirement of the script, I personally think we should always make a script which is within a budget and not make a budget within a script.
“One should not work on a script that requires an unaffordable budget, something that I did a few years ago. Filmmaking is a big ball game today, The money pumped into a project has to take into consideration the salability of the product.
“I’ve taken that into account while producing U, Me Aur Hum . And hopefully the economics of it should come out right this time.”
