In
a
marked
departure
from
the
norm,
the
Karthik
Calling
Karthik
director
Vijay
Lalwani
has
decided
to
alter
his
next
script
according
to
the
public"s
perceptions
of
his
directorial
debut.
The
anxious
director
has
in
fact
been
visiting
the
theatres
of
Mumbai
all
weekend
to
gauge
reactions.
“The
younger
audiences
seem
to
like
the
lighter
first-half
where
Farhan
Akhtar
romances
Deepika
Padukone.
The
more
serious
second-half
seems
to
be
a
kind
of
angst-filled
journey
for
the
protagonist
as
well
as
the
audience."
The
shape
of
Lalwani"s
next
film
would
depend
on
the
final
reaction
to
Karthik
Calling
Karthik.
Says
the
director,
“In
the
coming
days
I
hope
to
learn
from
my
mistakes,
understand
what
the
audiences
have
not
liked
in
Karthik
and
modify
my
next
script
accordingly."
Lalwani
has
two
scripts
ready.
“One
is
an
out-and-out
romantic
film,
the
other
a
thriller.
Whichever
I
do,
I"ll
modulate
after
I
assimilate
audiences" responses
to
Karthik
Calling
Karthik."
