<p>It had a gripping cycle rickshaw chase scene and a heated fist fight between superstar Shah Rukh Khan and action hero Suneil Shetty. <br /><br />Choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan’s ‘very loved film’ Main Hoon Na had all <br />elements that was anything but ‘ladylike’.<br /><br />As the film turned 10 on Wednesday, she doesn't regret choosing the superhit action drama that thrilled the audiences to the hilt to launch her as a director.<br /><br />Farah went into a nostalgic mode when asked about her film completing 10 years. “We got very nostalgic. </p>.<p>All photos my fans are sending me. </p>.<p>I don’t even have those photos. </p>.<p>Even in office, we couldn’t find pictures because we changed office twice. </p>.<p>We remember it like it was last year or something and suddenly it’s been 10 years,” Farah told IANS. <br /><br />“I wanted to make it for so long. It took around two to three years before I got to make it...from the time I started writing the script. It was a very different film for a woman director to make at that point. People were not expecting this kind of film. They thought I’d make some ladylike film,” she added.<br /><br />Calling it a “very macho film”, the movie also gave Shah Rukh, the lead actor of the film, a break from romantic sagas like Kal Ho Naa Ho and Chalte Chalte.<br /><br />“It was a very macho movie. Even for Shah Rukh. He wasn’t doing action at all that time. He was doing love stories. It was like an action-macho film for him also. He enjoys doing action a lot more… He adds a lot in terms of making the action more thrilling… and it did well everywhere - north, south, interior belt,” she said.<br /><br />Though Farah thinks there’s always room for improvement, she considers Main Hoon Na to be the perfect film to launch her as a director.<br /><br />“I had so much fun making it. It's a very loved film. It comes almost everyday on TV and everyday I get messages on Twitter or BB that they are watching it for the 20th time and still love it. I wouldn’t want to change things. I am very happy. Now my kids watch it. They enjoy it a lot,” said the mother of triplets.</p>.<p>It’s been 10 years, but the 48-year-old still feels nervous. </p>.<p>After pausing for a while, Farah, who has two superhits behind her, said: “I am not confident as director. I still get nervous. I don't know whether I am heading in the right direction or not. I was far more confident when I was making Main Hoon Na. Now, pressure is there.</p>.<p>” The Om Shanti Om director is now tied up with Happy New Year, which she likes to call her 'biggest movie’.<br /><br />“Happy New Year is very hectic. <br /><br />It is definitely the biggest movie Shah Rukh and I have made. It's a very big movie in terms of scale, star cast and everything. <br /><br />Every shoot has thousands of junior artistes. It’s a difficult film for me. But we are having so much fun. The cast and crew are lovely,” said the director. <br /><br />The movie also stars Deepika Padukone, Sonu Sood and Abhishek Bachchan. She has done so much, but still has a lot more to do. When asked what's left to explore, she said: “Arrey, lots more.”<br /><br /></p>
