What roles has he been rejecting? "I recently got an offer to play the role of a husband, but it was too simple and linear. I need a challenge, something rewarding enough to tackle."
Presently in Chandigarh doing a recce for his next film, he adds, "My next as a director will be a small love story. We are looking at several locations around here, and it was also a great excuse to get out of Mumbai."
About the long-delayed release of Aashayein, Nagesh says, "It's difficult and agonising to wait for your film to release. There was a delay with my other film Bollywood Calling as well, but not to this extent. I think the only emotion I have before the release of my film is immense relief."
