Why did you choose Chandni Chowk as a prime location?
Well, I feel Chandni Chowk is the largest democracy, a representative of secular India where at the 3 miles radius one can see the four major landmarks Jama Masjid, Sheesh Gandh Gurudwara, Jain Mandir and Red Fort. People living together from past 15 years respect and acknowledge each other’s cultures and customs so well that I felt it was a perfect place to shoot for my film since it also spreads the message of living in harmony. In fact, Chandni Chowk was my first choice as a title of the film. However, considering the subject that it deals with, Black & White turned out to be the apt choice.

Are you satisfied with the way the film has shaped up? Definitely, I would give full credit to the script of the film which did not let me make the kind of Cinema I have been making over the years. We made it a point to live up to the deman
