*You wrote Main Hoon Na, and now Om Shanti Om with Mayur Puri. How did the
story of OSO come to you?*

Mayur Puri has written the dialogues for *OSO*. The story just came to me
when I was doing the musical *Bombay Dreams* in London, which was also about
Bollywood, *Bombay Dreams* portrayed a clich餠and outdated version of the
film industry. I thought if this were made into a movie and released in
India it wouldn't work.

*Why did you decide to switch to Vishal Shekhar from Anu Malik (who was the
music director for Main Hun Na) for OSO's music? *

A director has the prerogative to work with new people in a film if they
feel it will give a new energy to the film. I wanted to first work with AR
Rahman I though he would do a great job with the background score, but that
didn't happen. After that I chose Vishal Shekhar because it is good to work
with newer younger people gives you a fresh perspective.
