"When you're wearing both hats, producer and director, they don't fight each other; they constantly keep each other in check. As a director, I know exactly what I need for every shot and every scene.

"Fortunately, I don't have to do it alone. My wife, Sapna, is the producer, and we work as a team. There are conversations where I'll tell her, ‘These are the scenes or elements I simply cannot compromise on.' If there's pressure on the budget, we don't compromise on the vision—we find solutions elsewhere. Maybe it's another location, a different piece of equipment, a smarter schedule, or a more efficient way of executing the scene."
