Mumbai:
Hollywood
director
M
Night
Shyamalan,
who
is
ready
with
his
latest
film
After
Earth,
praises
the
cast
of
Will
Smith
and
his
son
Jaden
and
says
the
two
are
'very
professional'
and
were
'meticulous
on
the
shoot'.
In
an
exclusive
interview
to
IANS
on
phone
from
London,
M
Night
Shyamalan
spoke
about
the
Hollywood
couple.
The
director
said,
"They
were
great.
They
are
a
fun
family.
They
are
entertaining
to
be
around.
They
are
very
professional
and
meticulous
on
the
shoot.
It
was
a
great
experience
for
everybody."
Talking
about
how
he
came
on
board,
the
Indian-origin
Hollywood
director
said:
"It
was
an
unusual
beginning.
There
was
a
call
from
Will
and
he
was
wishing
me
happy
birthday.
He
told
me
a
story
idea
for
his
son
and
I
thought
that
it
was
a
great
opportunity
for
me
to
tell
a
story,
which
was
close
to
me
and
so,
we
got
together," he
said.
An
expert
in
making
different
type
of
thrillers,
he
has
directed
films
such
as
Signs,
Unbreakable,
The
Village
and
The
Sixth
Sense.
The
genre
is
a
great
opportunity
to
talk
about
things
people
believe
in,
he
feels.
"I
think
it
is
a
great
opportunity
to
talk
about
how
people
believe
in
things
and
what
they
have
faith
(in)
and
what
that
feels
like,
without
talking
directly
about
it," he
said.
After
Earth
is
set
for
a
June
7
release
and
he
is
neither
bogged
down
by
past
successes
and
nor
feels
any
pre-release
pressure.
"Each
film
has
its
own
audience
and
intention.
They
are
all
meaningful
to
me,
but
they
may
not
reach
every
person.
If
I
choose
to
make
a
strong
romance,
then
I
know
I
will
not
get
older
men.
But
that
should
not
stop
me," he
said.
"Each
one
has
its
own
expectations.
In
the
artist
and
commerce
equation,
I
try
to
stay
in
the
artist's
chair,"
added
Shyamalan.
