He was the consulting producer of Aap Kaa Surroor The Moviee The Real Luv Story and the producer of other films including Na Tum Jaano Na Hum and Chura Liya Hai Tumne. Now he’s back with another film—Karma—featuring a multinational cast and crew. You guessed it! I’m talking about none other than Vivek Singhania.

After producing mainstream Bollywood films such as Na Tum Jaano Na Hum and Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne, it seems you are moving towards more international projects…

Yes, I am now interested to make more international projects and my focus is being diverted there, certainly. But, my interest in Bollywood remains and there are some interesting projects coming up here, too. But, in the next few years it is likely that I would be spending a considerable amount of my resources and energies on international projects.

What factors do you pay attention to when deciding to produce a film?

First and foremost the script, then the cast and the economic viability of course…the choice of director too, is vital.

You were the executive producer for Aap Kaa Surroor The Moviee The Real Luv Story, which ended up being quite successful at the box office. However, initially, did you have any doubts about how successful the film would be since Bollywood films featuring singers such as Sonu Nigam and Lucky Ali have not done too well in the past?

I was the consulting producer of Aap Kaa Surroor. Personally, I have always had a lot of faith in Himesh, ever since he composed music for me in my film Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne. I have also seen his meteoric rise as a singer and then stage performer. I was witness to the fans hysteria in Wembley, Kolkata, and many other places. His popularity is far far greater than what Bollywood has so far accepted and admitted. His fan following was far greater even before Aap Kaa Surroor than not only India’s best singers but even some of our very very famous filmstars.
