Shreyas Talpade: “I have one more story which I want to direct, if I do direct it, I’ll probably just stick to that and won’t really act in it”

Actor Shreyas Talpade says directing a movie in which he is also acting can get a bit daunting and to that end he will focus on just one job whenever he chooses to go behind the camera. In the wake of appearing in fruitful movies like “Iqbal”, “Om Shanti Om”, the “Golmaal” and “Housefull” franchise, Talpade made his directorial debut in 2017 with “Poster Boys”.

The 46-year- old actor said that he is now working on his second directorial, tentatively titled “Sar Car Ki Seva Mei”. Produced by Raaj Bhattacharya and Hariharan J Iyer, the movie went on floors last year.

“That is the working title for now. It’s a sweet little story about a man whose car gets stolen and what he does to get it back. I play that part and direct it as well,” Talpade said.

He added, “I have one more story which I want to direct. If I do direct it, I’ll probably just stick to that and won’t really act in it. Direction takes a lot out of you. I feel I’ll be able to do more justice if I’m only directing a film, rather than doing both. It’s too much work otherwise.”

The actor is presently anticipating the release of his most recent film, “Kaun Pravin Tambe?”, a biopic on Indian cricketer Pravin Tambe.
