They
say
creativity
knows
no
bounds.
Well
we
are
talking
about
director
Imtiaz
Ali,
who
in
a
brainstorming
session
during
the
making
of
Socha
Na
Tha
almost
landed
in
jail!
Apparently,
the
story
goes
that
the
trio
of
director
Imtiaz
Ali,
music
composer
Sandesh
Shandilya
and
lyricist
Irshad
Kamil
were
out
strolling
on
the
beach
and
discussing
Socha
Na
Tha
amongst
themselves.
That
is
when
the
police
mistook
the
three
for
miscreants
and
was
ready
to
throw
them
behind
bars.
Lyricist
Irshad
Kamil
narrates
the
ill-fated
night,
when
the
trio
was
so
caught
up
discussing
the
lyrics
for
Imtiaz"s
directorial
debut
Socha
Na
Tha
that
time
just
seemed
to
fly
by,
says
Irshad,
“We
were
so
engrossed
in
the
discussion,
that
time
just
went
by
and
the
coffee
shop
had
to
close,
so,
we
took
the
discussion
from
the
coffee
shop
to
the
Versova
beach
which
was
nearby…"
He
goes
on
to
add,
“But
we
were
interrupted
in
the
discussion
by
some
policemen
who
questioned
us
on
our
whereabouts,
they
made
us
realize
that
it
was
late
hours
and
we
were
not
supposed
to
be
on
the
beach."
He
further
adds,
“We
had
no
choice
but
to
go
to
the
nearby
police
station
as
the
policemen
were
not
ready
to
understand
us.
Even
an
association
with
the
film
fraternity
didn"t
work
out,
but
to
our
relief
they
soon
relieved
us."
“We
still
laugh
over
the
incident
when
I,
Imtiaz
and
Sandesh
sit
over
discussion
at
coffee
shop," he
signs
off
with
a
chuckle.
