Mozez Singh Reflects on Discovering Vicky Kaushal for Zubaan: “If I Hadn’t Found Him, I’m Not Sure I Would Have Made the Film”

December 24, 2024

Vicky Kaushal’s acting journey began with Masaan (2015), while Zubaan (2016) became his second film, despite being signed on for it prior to Masaan

Zubaan, directed by Mozez Singh, served as the launchpad for Vicky Kaushal, who has since become one of the most promising actors in the industry.

Released at a time when Vicky’s popularity hadn’t yet soared, the film didn’t perform well commercially, despite receiving positive reviews from those who watched it

Given the growing trend of re-releases, could Zubaan make its way back to theaters? Bollywood Hungama caught up with director Mozez Singh to discuss this during the promotion of his Netflix documentary, Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous.

Mozez Singh Reflects on Discovering Vicky Kaushal for Zubaan: “The Film Might Not Have Existed Without Him”

Mozez Singh shared his enthusiasm for a potential Zubaan re-release, stating, “I’d like for the film to return to cinemas. We (together with Sikhya Entertainment, the producer of both Zubaan and Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous) have discussed it before. However, our focus shifted to Famous for the time being. I hope we can make it happen, as I believe more people should have the chance to see it.”

Zubaan had an impressive festival circuit before hitting theaters, with Mozez Singh sharing that it had the honor of being the sole Indian film to open the Busan International Film Festival. He also confirmed that Will Smith had expressed his admiration for the movie, saying, “He really loved it.”

Mozez Singh, in addition to his work as a filmmaker, also appeared in the popular Netflix series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. Reflecting on his participation, he laughed and shared, “Initially, I was hesitant when the producers approached me for the first season, thinking, ‘What will I even do on a reality show?’ But then, I decided to lighten up and enjoy the experience. I’m grateful to Dharmatic Entertainment for bringing me back each season. It’s been a fun and unexpected opportunity.”

Mozez Singh affectionately described Neelam Kothari, Maheep Kapoor, Bhavna Pandey, and Seema Sajdeh as the “awesome foursome,” emphasizing, “They’re all close friends of mine.”

Regarding a possible appearance in Season 4, he shared, “I’m not certain. I believe they’re still basking in the success of Season 3. Hopefully, they’ll invite me to join Season 4.”
