Sajid
Khan
is
dedicating
his
second
directorial
venture
Housefull
to
the
seven
filmmakers
who
have
inspired
him
the
most.
Says
the
excited
director,
"It
came
to
me
in
a
flash
this
week
that
there
are
many
directors
to
whom
I
owe
my
career
as
a
filmmaker.
I
short
listed
the
seven
directors
who
have
made
the
maximum
impact
on
me.
And
I'll
be
putting
in
a
credit
card
thanking
them
in
Housefull."
The
lucky
7
are
Manmohan
Desai,
Hrishikesh
Mukherjee,
K.
Raghvendra
Rao,
K
Bappaiah,
Narendra
Bedi,
Prakash
Mehra
and
Blake
Edwards.
Says
the
enthusiastic
director,
"These
are
the
directors
who
have
most
inspired
me,
provoked
me
into
becoming
a
movie
director.
I
love
masala
movies.
And
these
directors
made
the
films
I
can
never
get
tired
of
watching.
I
had
dedicated
my
first
film
Heyy
Babyy
to
all
the
girls
who
agreed
to
make
guest
appearances
in
the
title
song."
Sajid
is
aware
some
names
in
his
list
of
7
would
surprise
people.
"But
I
feel
someone
like
Narendra
Bedi
who
made
Jawani
Diwani
and
Adalat
shaped
our
commercial
cinema.
Both
me
and
my
sister
Farah
are
hardcore
commercial
directors."
Though
Farah
has
started
directing
her
film
Tees
Maar
Khan,
Sajid
is
keeping
as
far
away
as
possible
from
his
sister's
project.
"I
haven't
read
her
script.
She
hasn't
read
mine.
Though
we'd
give
our
lives
for
one
another,
we're
two
different
individuals.
She
is
extroverted.
I
am
more
into
myself.
I
like
to
spend
my
evenings
alone
at
home
watching
films
every
evening."
Sajid's
greatest
joy
these
days
is
exchanging
Bollywood
trivia
with
Boman
Irani.
"Boman
and
Viveck
Vaswani
are
the
most
knowledgeable
movie
people
I
know.
Add
me
to
the
list.
If
Boman
was
not
an
actor
I'd
still
be
friends
with
him
just
to
share
movie
info
with
him."
