Abhinay Deo roped her in to help him direct a few episodes of 24 and Anil Kapoor describes her as a talent to watch out for. Does anyone need more compliments than that? Nitya Mehra hung up her advertising cap as assistant director to get into movies. She has assisted Farhan Akhtar in Lakshya and Don and Ang Lee in Life of Pi. Nitya says that she believes in the content and not the medium, but we believe she is biased towards cinema. She talks about 24, her future plans with Excel Entertainment and what makes Jai Singh Rathod special…The debut director shot episodes 5 to 8 for 24, the Indian version of the international series
This is your first project as director…
I used to be an assistant director; I retired a year and a half ago. I met Abhinay Deo through advertising. He called me one day and asked if I’d like to direct, and I just couldn’t say no. I thought it was a great project and I was more than happy to do it. I believe 24 is a turning point in Indian television. We’ve done a good job and I hope people like it.
