'Direction was my passion and it came to me naturally'

Was acting and directing together difficult?

No, it isn't difficult if you are clear in your head. But yes, you need to put in a lot of effort and concentration.

In her interviews, Kajol said you were a very good director.

I may praise Kajol and Kajol may praise me, and in the end, we'll go on praising each other. It's best if we don't say anything. We can be biased towards each other. Watch the film, and decide for yourself.

But many people have told me that I'm a good director.

Kajol also said that you wanted to be a director since childhood.

Yes. In fact, I started as an assistant director, and I assisted Shekhar Kapur.

As a child, I would make video films. I would go with my father [action director Veeru Devgan] for shoots. I started editing when I was 11 or 12. I was more inclined towards direction than acting. But my father wanted me to become an actor.

Direction was my passion and it came to me naturally.
