Naseeruddin Shah praises Homi Adajania for valuing "aesthetics" and "authenticity" and adds that the director is also savvy enough to make a "completely synthetic and crass film like Cocktail."
After working with Homi in his dark drama Being Cyrus and his recent quirky film Finding Fanny, the National Award-winning actor seems to be quite impressed the filmmaker's way of working.
"I love Homi. I just love his insanity. He is very good with his work," Naseer told IANS.(Also Read: Finding Fanny Review)
He added: "If he would have been making another film like Cocktail, I would have kicked his behind and secondly, I wouldn't have done it. I am happy and proud Homi has made a film like Finding Fanny when he could have easily made a film like Cocktail. I don't feel making Cocktail was necessary because he could have made Finding Fanny equally well five years ago."
Homi Adajania's 2012 release Cocktail was a romantic comedy-drama, and the Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty-starrer had become one of the biggest earners of the year.
Meanwhile, Naseer, who had made his debut as a director with Yun Hota To Kya Hota in 2006, has no plans of helming another film at the moment.
"No direction. I am happy directing on stage," he said and added: "I might (direct), but I don't have the energy. It's too much hard work.
