Director Aditya Datt says all his films that didn't work taught him a lesson about life and filmmaking.
The filmmaker made his debut with "Aashiq Banaya Aapne", which was a musical hit. He was unable to follow the success with "Table No 21", despite receiving good reviews, "Dil Diya Hai", "Good Luck!" and "Will you Marry Me?"
"Times have changed. Songs can't make a film work. The story and the narrative need to make the film work. People are exposed to so much cinema that happened to me as well. From 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' to 'Table No 21', it was kind of a learning phase for me. I feel I am learning things even now."
"... It gave me the window to explore a lot of things but I was clear I wanted to tell the human side, not the flesh and sex side of it... You need to educate yourself and make better stories."
"They saw 'Table No 21' and they were looking for a director for 'Commando 3'. I was looking to do an action film. They had an idea and they asked me to read it. Then we started developing it."
"You will see a new side of Vidyut. I wanted the character of Karan Singh Dogra to be little soft. I want the audience to be engaged in a story, enjoy the thrill, action and in the end, take a thought back home."
