In almost nine years, Rahul Sankrityan has preferred to go slow and steady and directed three films — The End, Taxiwaala and Shyam Singha Roy. In this interview as part of the directors’ series, he discloses that he turned down a few quick projects. He states that he cannot direct a film unless he likes a story and can relate to its world, “ Shyam Singha Roy taught me that it is okay to take two to three years and make a film that people will love.”
