The musical is directed by Raksha Mistry and Hasnain Hyderabadwala, who had earlier directed The Killer and The Train, both starring Emraan Hashmi. There were rumours that Mahesh Bhatt was unhappy with the way Jashn turned out, and decided to fix it himself by making it his directorial comeback. But the director duo tell Nithya Ramani that the film is still all theirs.
We started our careers with Raja Hindustani. We assisted [director] Dharmesh Dharshan. Hasnain's family knew Mr Dharshan and I knew Manish Malhotra, who introduced me to Mr Dharshan. We also assisted him in Mela and Dhadkan. After that we bifurcated -- Hasnain went on to assist Vikram Bhatt and I assisted Rakesh Roshan for Koi... Mil Gaya and Krrish.
Since Dharmesh and Mahesh Bhatt were related, we got our first break as co-directors in The Killer. Vishesh films decided to produce it. Since we knew the Bhatts for over 15 years, we gladly joined them.
Our second film came immediately. Our writer Sanjay Masoom came up with the idea of The Train. We liked it and during the climax shoot of Killer, we pitched the idea to Emraan. We were very lucky to start shooting The Train within 10-15 days.
We never denied the fact that we were inspired by Hollywood films. Certain movies inspire us to get different perspectives. After these films released, we got a lot of flak for making inspired films. So we took an oath not to copy any film ever.
No. We are happy that we were recognised for our earlier films. Films either do well or they don't, but we have to move on. We don't regret having made them. We can't reverse anything in life so we take everything and move on.
There have been great director duos who have generated wonderful work like Abbas-Mastan, Nadeem-Shravan and Laxmikanth-Pyarelal. Ultimately it is team work. How many people work on a film is immaterial.
Of course, we have creative differences. But when two people get together, they complement each other. We are very aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses. As long as we concentrate on our strengths, we know where we are going. We fight it out. People who work with us for the first time think the film will be stalled. We fight like cats and dogs. Since we know each other so well, we know who is good at what and we let the other take charge.
Jashn is about a nobody who wants to become a somebody and the struggle he goes through to be successful. We put the story across to Mahesh Bhatt and he loved it. That is how the title of the film -- Jashn: The Music Within -- came about. I remember Maheshji saying that we had just found our resonance.
No. It is an emotional drama. The film is a musical drama about a boy who wants to be a star but hasn't found his voice yet. Apart from the fantastic story and performance, the USP of Jashn is the music. We have three music directors -- Sharib Toshi, Nouman Javiad and Sandesh Shandilaya.
We didn't want to typecast ourselves. After Killer and Train, we wanted to do something different. We believe that the biggest crime one can commit is to give up on oneself. That's a line from Jashn too.
When we planned Jashn, we wanted someone very young -- about 18 to 20 years of age. Since Emraan worked with us in our earlier two films, we thought why not cast him here again. But he didn't look 20. It would have been difficult for people to accept him as a 20-year-old.
When Mohit [Suri] was shooting for Raaz, he suggested we take a look at Adhyayan. On meeting him, we found him very raw and vulnerable. We knew he would fit the character well. He has done full justice to the character Akash Verma. In fact, he identified with the character. When we met him, we could see the failure in his eyes. His first film flopped and he wanted to prove himself to his father [Shekhar Suman].
We roped in Shahana Goswami much before Rock On!! happened. We were looking for someone unconventional. We auditioned her and found her perfect for the role. She is the most level headed person we have ever come across. She reminds us of Smita Patil. She plays Tara Bajaj, a beautiful, rich, dignified teenager.
The first day of shoot was with Adhyayan and Shahana on the ashtami of navratri. Maheshji had gone to Vaishno Devi and we got a message from him wishing us luck. We were shooting in Madh Island. The first shot had Adhyayan strumming his guitar. That gave us a lot of motivation to go ahead with the film. It was a very tough and important schedule.
It is true that he was on the sets for a few days. We wanted an experienced person to help us with the direction. Jashn is a highly emotional film and we needed someone like Maheshji. Since he is the creative head of Vishesh Films, you are bound to see him on the sets often. He is the boss and we are grateful that he stepped in to help us. We learnt a lot from him. If he wants to make a comeback, we would be honoured to have him through this film. We wouldn't mind calling Jashn a Mahesh Bhatt film.
