Hardik Mehta defines job of director in collaborative process of filmmaking

How ‘Decoupled’ director Hardik Mehta keeps his politics out of his work

BDC News

Mumbai, Dec 31  Director Hardik Mehta, whose recent web show ‘Decoupled’ has struck a chord with connoisseurs of humour, feels that for a filmmaker to do complete justice to a script, it’s imperative that they don’t let their personal inclinations or politics seep into the design and positioning of a scene.

The director says: “My thought process or politics might not completely align with what Manu (Joseph, the writer and creator of, ‘Decoupled’) would have proposed in a scene. But as a filmmaker, it’s my job, it is my prerogative to ensure that a scene is directed and made in a way that is absolutely convincing.”

For him, keeping the personal inclinations aside and to work together towards a constructive outcome forms the essence of the collaborative process that filmmaking is.

He says: “That is exactly where collaboration comes in. That has actually been a very interesting part of making this series.”
