'I am India's youngest producer'

What do you think your dad is better at -- writing or directing?

I believe that Mahesh Bhatt is far better writer than a director. He has the ability to not only experience but also articulate it and that is a gift. It takes courage to be able to spill out your heart in a book.

Your film Kajraa Re is in production now. There are reports that the film is a remake of Sadak.

We will release Kajraa Re on October 16. It's not a remake of Sadak. If it was a remake, we would have happily said so, as we would get better branding.

Kajraa Re is the story about a Pakistani girl and an Indian popstar, based in the UK. The girl is born and brought up in the red light areas of Pakistan and has been in the profession all her life. While the boy wants to escape his past, the girl wants to escape her future.

When will we see you act again?

I haven't left acting, which is my first love. I think I am India's youngest producer. I started off as an actor, then a producer and finally a director. People think that acting has taken a backseat but if I am offered a good script, I would happily do it.
