He
has
many
facets
in
his
personality.
He
was
a
journalist
for
some
time
and
did
assist
some
top
bollywood
directors
in
Mumbai
to
understand
the
finer
points
and
nuances
of
film
making.
Then
he
did
work
as
an
associate
director
for
the
Kannada
film
Miss
California.
He
is
Sandeep
Malani
who
has
now
become
a
full
fledged
film
director
and
his
recent
film
SMS
6260
has
completed
its
shooting
work.
The
film
is
being
produced
by
US
based
Jahnu
who
had
acted
as
a
heroine
in
Miss
California.
Who
is
also
acting
in
the
lead
role
in
SMS
6260.
As
the
name
suggests,
the
film
is
a
love
story
of
people
having
a
modern
and
cosmopolitan
outlook.
The
film
should
belong
to
people
of
all
age
groups-
from
the
age
of
six
to
sixty,
says
Malani.
He
was
addressing
a
press
conference
to
give
details
about
the
work
so
far
done
with
regard
to
SMS
6260.
Malani
did
not
want
to
elaborate
on
the
story
very
much,
but
said
that
he
not
only
directed
the
film
but
had
also
choreographed
the
song
sequences.
Most
of
the
shooting
was
held
in
Mangalore
and
its
peripheries
and
the
well
planned
shooting
was
completed
on
time.
"The
unit
had
to
work
round
the
clock
for
35
days
at
a
stretch
as
Jahnu
had
to
necessarily
go
to
USA.
'There
were
some
bottlenecks
earlier
as
Jahnu
had
met
with
an
accident
which
kept
her
out
of
activity
for
more
than
two
months
and
our
shooting
schedules
went
haywire'
says
Malani.
The
film
has
the
Kanglish
(Kannada
and
English
mix
is
Kanglish)
language
and
I
would
call
it
a
Kanglish
cinema.
I
have
used
the
language
which
is
normally
spoken
by
upper
class
people
in
the
cosmopolitan
Bangalore.
The
film
relates
to
upper
middle
class
and
rich
people
and
reflects
their
dreams,
frustrations
and
aspirations'
he
added.
The
film
has
been
planned
for
release
just
prior
to
the
Valentine
day
in
2007.

Jahnu
took
the
dual
responsibility
of
being
the
producer
and
the
film's
lead
actress
very
seriously
and
she
has
performed
both
the
roles
with
admirable
authenticity.
Jahnu
says
"Everything
was
cool
in
the
shooting.
Malani
was
brisk
and
dedicated'
she
declared.
Kiran,
Diganth,
Smrithi,
Dattanna,
Vijayalakshmi,
Badri
are
in
the
cast
of
this
film.
Selvam
is
the
cameraman.
