Sanjay also recalled how his father backed him when he wanted to pursue filmmaking abroad. He said, But then, when I told him I wanted to go overseas, be independent and pursue filmmaking as a course, he didnt hesitate. He was the first one to give me a green signal because he has been in the industry for so long. More than my mother and my sister, he actually understood the importance of it. Jason further mentioned, He said, You go do the course, then only you will understand what you like, what is working for you, and whether you even like this profession.
