Abhay Deol in the web series
The Hindi film industry has rarely explored the theme of time travel despite its intrigue value. Proud as he is to have tapped the subject in JL50, director Shailender Vyas admits his first directorial venture came with its share of heartbreak. He had envisioned and developed the Pankaj Kapur and Abhay Deol starrer as a movie, but it was eventually converted into a web series.
"I was disturbed and heartbroken by the turn of events. We had made the film for a theatrical experience. When the pandemic broke out, it led to uncertainty around the release of films in cinemas. So, we took this opportunity when it came our way. It was one of the most difficult decisions, but the most important thing was to share the movie with viewers and I am glad that it happened," says Vyas of the SonyLIV offering.
