What inspired the story of Ata Pata Laapata?

Was it difficult did you find to be both director and actor?
Honestly, Yes. It is very challenging to manage so many artists on set at that same time while focusing on your acting. For Ata Pata Laapata, I was shouldering too many responsibilities, but I took it up as a challenge. Cinema is an ongoing learning process and one never knows everything. There is always room for improvement. After directing this film, I realized how difficult it is to be behind the camera. It is an art form, which not everyone can master.
Since you also wrote the screenplay, seeing your words and scenes come to life onscreen what has that experience been like? Are you happy with the final result?
It is a wonderful experience when one sees their child grow and become a well-nurtured human being. I would say the same thing about my film. Ata Pata Laapata is my baby and I have taken great pain to nurture it. I felt an immense sense of pleasure and pride when I saw my idea come to life on screen. I also felt very blessed as two great stalwarts, Late Dara Singh ji and Late Satyadev Dubey Ji, both are a part of my film.
What are audiences going to see when they come to see Ata Pata Laapata?
The audiences will be entertained throughout APL. It is a film with a lot of layers, which can be enjoyed by the masses as well as the classes. It is a film that shows you a mirror to the society we are living in and will make you laugh as well think.
What are your hopes for Ata Pata Laapata?
I honestly just wanted to make an entertaining film. I hope the audience appreciates all our hard work and enjoys watching the film. At the end of the day, the audience decides a fate of a film. I just hope and pray for the best.
