Writer Jaideep Sahni doesn't intend to direct films

Writer-lyricist Jaideep Sahni, who has been part of film industry for almost 13 years, says he has no immediate plans to turn director.
"So far I have no plans to direct a film. I am happy giving my scripts to those who are talented to take the idea ahead. I am giving ideas to directors," Jaideep told PTI.
Earlier, writers like Anurag Kashyap, Imtiaz Ali, Rumy Jaffery, Anees Bazmee and Sajid-Farhad turned directors.
Some of the well-known films on which Jaideep has worked include "Jungle", "Bunty aur Babli", "Chak De India" and "Rocket Singh".
Jaideep had written the story and screenplay of Dibakar Banerjee's "Khosla Ka Ghosla" and was also its creative producer.

"I may produce a film like I did 'Khosla Ka Ghosla'. If I get something which I feel is really good and I should promote, then I will definitely come on board," he said.

Counted among the most talented writers in the industry, Jaideep is excited about the release of "Shuddh Desi Romance" which is penned by him. The romantic-comedy, directed by Maneesh Sharma, stars Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra and Vaani Kapoor.
It is about love, attraction and commitment. The movie is based in today's modern yet 'desi' heartland of Jaipur. Sushant plays the role of a casual boy-next-door Raghu and Parineeti plays a bold role of Gayatri.

"It (the film) is the journey of three restless young people who junk the society's syllabus for finding love and decide to follow their heart," Jaideep said.
