Abhinay Deo

Director Abhinay Deo says his recent film, Blackmail, starring Irrfan Khan, was a gamble because the Indian audience is used to being served only a certain kind of comedy, and he was attempting something different. Deo says, "It was a gamble. Nobody would think of putting money into something so outlandish. But my producers did, knowing fully well that this kind of comedy does not necessarily appeal to the audience."
