Nothing more important than the script in a film, says PK director Raju Hirani

With PK’s release lying just one week from today, director Rajkumar Hirani has started experiencing the nerves trembling. There is no bigger day for a filmmaker than the release of his film and nervousness is bound to be high. Going though the same phase currently, Raju shared his side of thoughts and told that scripting the film right, takes half your nervousness away.

“I am very scared of my own work. I can’t go unprepared on the sets, so we spend most of the time in scripting. Until and unless my script is good, I don’t like going on the sets. I am not in a race to do one film in a year,” Raju said. When asked how hard is for him to collaborate with someone like Abhijat Joshi as his scripting associate since Raju is too specific about it, the filmmaker said, “Abhijat (Joshi, the writer) is like a brother to me because our thinking is very similar. We have made some rules for ourselves – the first is that the script should be inspired from life. Also, we have to find something unique to talk about,” he added.

With PK being the most anticipated release of the year, there are good chances the film may cross barriers to provide entertainment. Raju’s record proves that he cannot be a bad director and thee 3 Idiots team coming back together, excitement is at its peak.
