The Family Man writer Suman Kumar interview: ‘Writers are the silent heroes; put their name on the poster’

Hindustan Times  

Filmmaker Suman Kumar, who gained fame for co-writing the Hindi web series Guns & Gulaabs, Farzi and The Family Man, recently turned to direction with the Keerthy Suresh-starrer Raghu Thatha. He is now a far cry from the ‘broke and depressed’ Suman, who started in stand-up comedy in his 30s before evolving into writing with the famous filmmaker duo Raj & DK. ‘Keerthy impressed me with her performance’ When Suman wrote his debut directorial, Raghu Thatha, he had no one in mind for the lead role - a feminist who writes stories under a male pseudonym. ‘Writing is not a stepping stone to direction’ But even as Suman juggles between writing and direction, he emphasises that the two are completely different skill sets.
