How has the journey been from Special Ops 1, then 1.5, to now working on the next season?
The journey from Special Ops 1 to 1.5 and now onto the next season has been quite exciting. Currently, we have just completed filming for the upcoming season, and it is in the post-production phase. We anticipate another 4-5 months of post-work, intending to be ready in the second half of this year for Ops.
You have a special taste for films involving the armed forces and police officers. Is there any special inclination or inspiration behind it?
No, not really. It just so happens that some of the stories I’ve worked on fall within this genre, creating the impression of a specific taste. However, there isn’t a particular affinity for one genre or force. I have a love for stories across various genres, be it forces, music, or sports. The focus is more on investing in compelling narratives than on a specific genre.

Do you have any plans to create a shared universe with characters from different projects, like Naam Shabana or Baby?
No, there are no plans for a shared universe. Each story is very much a standalone, and we intend to keep it that way.
You’ve worked with prominent actors like Akshay Kumar, Kay Kay Menon, and Manoj Bajpai. How was the association with them?
I consider myself blessed to have collaborated with remarkable actors such as Naseeruddin Bhai, Anupam Ji, Jimmy Shergil, Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee, and many others. It has been an incredible journey, and they’ve all been part of projects that hold special memories for us. Sushant, who was part of MS, is also someone I would like to mention. Overall, the making of these films and projects has been fantastic, and I hold these memories close to my heart.
Any special memory you would like to share about Sushant Singh Rajput since you mentioned him?
They are very personal, so let us leave it at that.
You’ve worked with a diverse range of actors. Who, in your opinion, are the director’s actors?
All of them. I’ve been fortunate to work with actors ranging from seasoned ones like the ones I mentioned to newcomers like Tapsee, Disha, and Kiara. I mean, they were newcomers when they worked on my projects. Regardless of their age or experience, what stands out is their hunger to explore something new. This common thread of curiosity and eagerness to create something interesting has been the key to our successful collaborations.
