For someone who was not at all inclined towards movies, Jaideep Sahni (left) has definitely made a fine career in them. Sahni has been lying low for a bit, since he has been in the media spotlight for the last two years.
The man who scripted movies like Khosla ka Ghosla and Chak De! India is busy with the much-awaited Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year, which stars the flavour of the season, Ranbir Kapoor. Rocket Singh also sees Sahni team up with Shimit Amin. "Working with Shimit is always great," says Sahni.
In nearly all the movies he has scripted, there's a strong inclination towards showcasing middle-class and small-town India. And even Rocket Singh tells the extraordinary tale of an ordinary salesman. "I just bring characters to life which people can relate to and don't think of them as people from outer space," he says.
Sahni admits that he came to the industry as a "tourist" and has stayed on longer than he had intended to do. That is because of the kind of people he has met, people who believed in him and made him a part of their movies.
In the last 10 years or so, Sahni has been a computer engineer and IT consultant, he has dabbled in advertising and has also written lyrics for Shubha Mudgal and indipop band Euphoria. Curiosity drives him to newer things, a fact which does show in his movies - for instance, characters like Bunty and Babli are curious about what their next con jobs will yield.
