It has been a wonderful experience for me as I had started as a journalist in a Gujarat weekly CHITRAPAT. Then I had a chance meeting with Tahir Husain, father of legendary star-actor Aamir Khan and I got my first chance to direct a Gujarati film JANAM JANAM NA SATHE. I didn’t have to look back. I have made 37 films so far, some of them Action films, few Patriotic films, few Family dramas, Comedy films and Historical Films too in Hindi and Gujarati with all big stars like Ashok Kumar, Raaj Kumar, Amitabh
