It's just a filmmaker's choice to play with any genre.'
'And it was my desire to make this movie since my first film 'Ek Baar Phir'. Since all my films have been on man-woman relationships, somehow this movie was never made...,' he said.
Produced by Big Pictures, the film stars Shekhar Suman, Rajpal Yadav, Sayali Bhagat and troubled-actor Shiney Ahuja in a special appearance. Pande also claimed the movie would be a mirror of the prevalent hypocrisy in society.
'The situations might be humorous, but it won't have a heavy dose of slapstick and it won't lack it either. There will be some very interesting instances in the film and it will say something to chew upon,' added Pande, who is also president of the Indian Television and Film Directors' Association.
The director plans to churn out a series of films on the same topic with different settings.
''Chaloo Movie' is basically a concept that reflects the 'chalooness' (cleverness) of Indian society in general. We are looking here at a series of films with the same ensemble cast reflecting the 'chalta hai' attitude of Indian society,' he added.
'While the first film has a backdrop of the Indian film industry, other instalments will be on different segments of society like politics, sports, law, hospitality industry and medicine.'
Pande's future projects include suspense-drama 'Din Ke Andhere Mein' and he is also writing a book called 'Beyond Frontiers'.
