Adhyayan turn director from actor

Budding actorAdhyayanSuman has done acourse in direction and has always nurtured a desire to call the shots for afilm. And his wish came true when producer Mahesh Bhatt let him go behind the camera for shootinga crucial scene for forthcoming film 'Jashnn'.

"Yeah, it was great to make mydirectorial debut with 'Jashnn' even though the scene is just about a minuteand a half long," said Adhyayan, who admits he was extremely nervous whensuddenly given this responsibility.

"The atmosphere on the sets was suchthat I could walk up to anyone and share my suggestions. I used to have longconversations with Mahesh Bhatt-saab who was usually present on the sets. SinceI've studied direction, I used to share my point of view about approaching ascene," said the young actor, who debuted with 'Raaz - The MysteryContinues'.

"During one such conversation,Bhatt-saab simply got up and told me to direct the next scene on thesets," he recalled. "I was completely flabbergasted as I didn't seeit coming at all. I wasn't too sure but Bhatt-saab instilled confidence in me.He told me to shoot the scene the way I would have envisioned it," he added.

"The scene has Anjana conversing withme through SMS. It's a romantic scene and while Anjana was having all the fun,both on and off the screen, I was really nervous. But once I was through withmy lights, camera, action and cut routine, I felt so high about life. It was adream come true," he said.

"Fingers crossed," he laughed."Because as far as I know, the scene is very much there in the finalcut." Tell him that he now can share at least one percent credit asdirector for the film and he just shrugs it off. "Direction can wait;first let me establish myself as an actor with 'Jashnn'. It is the mostimportant film of my career as of today and I have to prove a lot to theworld," Adhyayan said.
