Actress-turned-producer Divya Khosla believes that if a
filmmaker's product is good, he or she will succeed.
Divya, who started her career in Bollywood as an actor with
2004 "Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo", believes that everything in
life comes to you when the time is right.
She made her directorial debut with "Yaariyan".
Even with a new cast and modest budget, she did an honest job.
"I worked hard to be here. I trained for two years,
directed successful music videos, honed my skills, worked on my script,
casting, locations, music and then 'Yaariyan' was born. If the product is
right, you can make your mark," Divya said.
She told the cast was apt for the script. "The story is
always the heart of the film. Then comes the power of good storytelling. The
cast needs to suit the film and not vice versa."
The romantic-comedy featured Himansh Kohli, Serah Singh and
Rakul Preet Singh and it released along with Madhuri Dixit-starrer "Dedh
Ishqiya" Jan 10.
If required, she is open to work with stars.
"The film drew bigger initial response... My confidence
rests with my product. If stars are required, they will be there," she told.
Divya, who is wedded to T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar,
feels that she is a creative person and that is why she delved into
movie-making business.
"Creativity has always been my forte. As the creative
director of T-series, I have worked on all products. But between production and
direction, I enjoy direction more," she told.
However, the director does not take the husband's position
for granted and that is why it took her so long to direct her first movie.
"If you want to make your mark, put in your best. Your
family can back you, but you alone are responsible for your failure or
success," she told.
