Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha has an open offer for his director-friends. They decide the story they want to tell, and he will throw his weight behind the project. This year, he has backed Hansal Mehta’s Faraaz. “The same offer is open to [Anurag] Kashyap, Ketan Mehta and a few other friends,” smiles Sinha, whose Bheed hit the screens last week. Up next are two productions — Sudhir Mishra’s drama Afwaah, and an anthology. 

Sinha and Mishra were trying to collaborate on a film for the past 10 years. It was the Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer that finally excited them. “It happened organically that I produced Hansal and Sudhir bhai’s films. Sudhir bhai and I talk four times a day, discussing new stories. Producing is creative, social and personal.”
