QUESTION: How did Jholachap happen to you?We mean the concept,the storyline and finally producing it..
ANSWER: It was during the pandemic that people started realising the importance of health which ignited me to focus on this. Besides this, a Doctor in Odisha Shekharla Padhan was in highlights because of his selfless service .He developed a PHC in a different level for which Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had tweeted for his work. These all actually inspired me to make the story.
Q.- Are you satisfied with the end result?
A.-This is my first commercial movie. Earlier I have made many short and tele films which have been awarded and recognised. But if I say about Jholachhap ,I have tried my best and I think it has come up well.
Q.- In the big world of Bollywood,are you nervous to release the movie and when it is,how confident are you that the film will be a hit?
A.- It’s was a big challenge actually because viewers always try to see a big starcast/face. But I think the trend is changing now, people have started to see a good artiste and definitely Jholachhap will be liked.
Q.- Who’s the protagonist of the movie and how did you develop the central character?
A.- Mehak Manwani has played the protagonist character. She has played the role of a doctor. A newly-appointed doctor posted to a rural Primary Health Centre (PHC). Besides her, the immaculate Chittaranjan Tripathy and senior Bollywood artiste Mushtaq Khan are also there .
Q.- Tell us something about the story and how is it going to be different than many other stories?
A.- First of all,the story is based on certain true incidences. The bitter truth of our village healthcare system.

Why people in villages trust quacks more than a MBBS Doctors.Why villagers avoid to go to PHC et al.
Q.- Let’s us know few memorable incidents which may have occurred while shooting the movie..
A.- When the shoot was going on we had taken some villagers as junior artistes. While Dr Neha was checking the villagers for the shots in a doctor’s costume, the villagers actually started telling their health issues to her thinking her as the real doctor of the PHC.
Q.- Any plan to move to Mumbai from lock stock and barrel to produce more movies?
A.- Since childhood I had the intrest towards theater and film. During my school days I remember I was inclined towards arts and drama rather than studies. I learned editing and animation course during my job. I left my job pre maturely and joined film making course. It was actually challenging as this part was a totally different profession but I had faith and confidence in my work.
Q.- How do you keep yourself relaxed?
A.- My only choice for relaxation is music and film
