He also made films like 'Prem Qaidi' and 'Kahin Pyar Na Ho Jaaye', but says this is his first comedy.

'I did not face any problems in directing 'Daddy Cool', even though this was my first comedy ever. It was like being on a picnic,' said the director.

'Comedy is not my forte but one has to change with time. Now cinemagoers are mainly youngsters and they like watching lighter films. They want laughter and no burden attached. They want something that will entertain them completely. That's why I ventured into this,' he added.

But hasn't the audience received an overdose of comedies in recent times?

'I dont think people are overburdened with comedies. Comic capers do well, if they are made well. And I think people will never get bored of them. As long as you can make them laugh for the given two hours, audiences won't complain,' he said.

When asked whether he would like to venture into the same genre again, pat came the reply: 'I'm a professional; so I am ready to dabble in different genres and new subjects. I will never confine myself to just one thing.'
