I see nothing wrong with that word. The bhand performs a beautiful art form. Unfortunately, we tend to think of it as cheap or derogatory. They were the first genuine actors of our country though I suspect the Parsi theatre was older.

Is direction around the corner?

I do have an understanding of what people enjoy and what they don't. But direction is too lonely a job. I'd want to make a huge action film like Badshah, which will take me over-budget. My vision is too wacky to be budgeted. Let's see. Right now I don't have a story to act in, let alone direct.
