‘Tuesdays and Fridays’ is a sweet little rom-com film: Taranveer Singh

Absolutely, see just think about how many scripts and how many people must be approaching Mr Bhansali for him to consider! Just the fact that he thought I was worthy of the script just gives me so much confidence. And I feel this is an indication to the industry that hey, this is somebody worth looking at at least and so yeah it’s a dream launch to be to get the stamp of approval from somebody who’s known for being one of the most celebrated film makers in the industry.

I am really excited that through the film we found these two absolutely adorable actors and these two faces that we’re giving to the industry with this film. Both of them are very sincere and hard working and really helped me as a first time filmmaker. I personally think both of them have a really bright future. I feel like a proud parent and can’t wait to see them in their next film! I will always be proud of them for their future achievements.

I think yes covid has amplified the reach of OTT platforms but the covid time has also made a lot of people realise including me, the charm and love that we feel for theatres. I went to watch a film in the theatres like last week and just the feeling of being in the theatre reminds you why I and so many people are in the love with the medium and that makes me think, surely, theatres and OTT can and will co-exist, both platform have their own advantages and eventually as a filmmaker I think I would like to explore story telling for various platforms but the dream has always been- the big screen. I look forward to just telling stories in any platform which gives me the chance.

To be honest, I never really thought the title would stay as is. But because it is about these two people who decide to meet on Tuesdays and Fridays, the title remained. I always thought it would be a working title and eventually it would be something else but it’s just so apt. I’m so thankful that everyone from T-series to everybody, just the moment they heard it, they were like, no, no, no, let’s keep this. We don’t need another title. And I really thought producers would force me to change it, but well, it was not so and thankfully the title remained.

I don’t know how to explain this. I don’t know if it was difficult, but it took a lot of work and time for sure. I had to go through this entire process of going to a film school, I did not know anybody in the industry, so I couldn’t ask someone if I could be assistant director in their film. So, yes it took time. And the journey was slightly longer as compared to those who might be from the industry. It wasn’t difficult, it was just slightly longer than I would have liked. But here I am finally with the first film.
