Actor-filmmaker Rahul Bose says when he actively played rugby for India internationally, he chose films according to his sports calendar. He was part of the 'Redefining Stories' panel at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here.

Asked about his transition from being an actor to a director, Rahul, who first helmed "Everybody Says I'm Fine" and then directed the 2017 film Poorna, said: "It was not calculative." Rugby is the only calculation, moderator and popular cinematographer Aseem Bajaj prodded Rahul.
