“I intend to start a dialogue through my films. I am a social commentator as a filmmaker and (believe in) capturing the complexity of the society as it is. The idea is that after watching the film Mukkabaaz, if people start talking about the affected area of a sportsman’s life and who is responsible for that, I will be happy,” Kashyap told IANS in an interview.

Sharing the most special moment of the whole journey, Vineet said: “That happened when I got a call from Anurag sir.

“To my surprise, sir called me saying, ‘Vineet I am directing the film, you are in, but there are two things — I will make some changes in the script and you have to become a trained boxer.’

“I remember everything of that conversation. The fact is, I went to sir with the script for his valuable feedback because for me, he is one of the most important parts of my journey to become an actor. But when he called me with the news that he is directing it, I was on cloud nine.”

Mukkabaaz released this Friday is presented by Phantom Films and Colour Yellow Films stars, Vineet Kumar Singh, Zoya Hussain, Ravi Kishan and Jimmy Sheirgill.
