Jag Mundra the award winning director (Provoked, Bhawander) next film ‘Apartment’ is releasing this week followed by ‘Chase’ in the next week. Strangely, the industry is running with reports of Jag Mundra not willing to be associated with ‘Chase’ produced by TV actor Anuj Saxena even after being the director of the film. Yesterday, this writer caught this director in Mumbai and asked the reason behind his disownment of the movie ‘Chase’.

Jag Mundra says, “Anuuj Saxena, who is not only the producer of Chase besides being the leading man, wanted to be a Tarantino and juxtaposed the scenes in Chase, by also taking over as the editor. Anuuj does not realise that there is a lot of difference between confusion and suspense, because when you do parallel cutting, two scenes should happen at the same time and not in two different time zones but he was not ready to listen to me. Anuuj told me that he wanted to experiment and asked me to indulge him but I told him to trust my judgment because I have earned my name in the industry after putting in so many years. I know how to edit even at the script stage. To be a good maker you have to be a good editor. If he takes away my authority, I have every right to take away my name from the film as the director too.”

Hmmmmmmmm. Seems that the director is very serious about his job and he doesn’t like any interference even though if its from the producer and the leading man. We hope both bury their differences and watch the film together on next Friday.
