Nupur, who has done films like Mujhe Se Fraaandship Karoge and Bewakoofiyaan, is set to make her first web series Romil and Jugal, which is a love story of gay couple for Ekta Kapoor’s ALT Balaji channel.
The filmmaker speaks about working with Yrf, Ekta and her show.
“I thought I will be able to make a movie easily after making successful television show Hip Hip Hurray. But it took me 10 years to make a movie.
Suddenly I got a call from Yashraj films to meet Aditya Chopra. I have made two films for them and it will get over once I will complete my third film. I am yet to lock a script for it.”
Talking about collaborating with Ekta, she says, “Ekta and I have been wanting to work with each other for a long time now.
It was a film script actually which she sent me for Romil and Jugal.
It was her idea to make Romeo Juliet’s version with two boys. Ekta was very passionate about it.
I told her I cannot make a film outside Yashraj, so she said let’s make it a web series. It felt like this is the perfect material for me and Ekta to come together.”
