Tisca Chopra on Saali Mohabbat with husband Sanjay Chopra
During an interview with
Mid-Day, Tisca Chopra said, "Directing is a mother-of-God hard job. It just never ends. You start your day with a volley of questions. What should be the size of the car’s number plate? Should the actor shave his chest or not? If you don’t answer, they’ll think that you don’t know your mind. So, you just have to make a decision, even if it’s wrong. And then you make it the right decision.”

His sense of writing is robust, mine is more subtle. So the yin and yang came together nicely in the script. We were told in the beginning [to drop it], but we still went ahead and recorded it. Then we had to dub it to something else,” says Chopra, unconvinced by the idea of censorship. “I’m not a big fan of censorship. If at 18 years, you can choose a government, why can’t you choose what you want to watch?”
Saali Mohabbat review
Our in-house critic gave the film a 3 out of 5 star rating, An excerpt from the review read, "Saali Mohabbat is a film with a promising premise but not enough bite. Tisca’s attempt at a slow-burn thriller has moments that draw you in. I was instantly reminded of Chutney, the popular short film she starred in a few years back. It almost feels like we’re witnessing the beginnings of a Tisca Chopra cinematic universe."For the unversed, the film stars Radhika Apte, Divyendu Sharma, and Anurag Kashyap. It is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Dinesh Malhotra, Vipin Agnihotri and Manish Malhotra under Jio Studios and Stage5 Production.
