There’s a process Bejoy Nambiar follows. He usually directs only those films that have been written by him. Naturally then, he walked into Tu Yaa Main’s narration prepared to say no. “The script came from Himanshu Sharma, Aanand L Rai [producer], and Abhishek Bandekar [co-writer]. I was immediately hooked,” recalled Nambiar, smiling.

You can’t blame him. It’s not every day that you get a thriller about two content creators — played by Adarsh Gourav and Shanaya Kapoor — battling for survival against a crocodile. “I enjoyed it so much that after the narration, I called my wife and said, ‘If the narration itself was this engaging, my job is to execute it honestly.’ Plus, this was a genre I hadn’t explored before,” said the director, who broke out with the crime drama, Shaitan (2011).
