But the maker clarifies that he has never set out to do something “hatke” , says R.Balki ” Regular is boring and I enjoy exploring the unusual in my films.Though I have never really set out to do something ‘hatke’ , I like having an element of surprise. What makes this romantic film so much fun is that you will not see the hero or the heroine in stereotypical roles.”
