He attracted the audience with his sweet, chocolate boy looks and light eyes as an actor in ‘Masoom’ (as a child artist) and ‘Mohabattein’ (as a lover-boy). But sadly the charming Jugal Hansraj failed to grab the attention with his directorial ventures.
His earlier attempts ‘Roadside Romeo’ and ‘Pyaar Impossible’ didn’t make much impression, but still Jugal is not the one who will lose his heart. It is said that the actor-director is giving a yet another try to filmmaking. And supporting him is Aditya Chopra, who given Jugal a film under his banner Yash Raj Films.
Sources say that the Jugal is in fact has written a script and Aditya has approved it.
Well, all we can say is – All the Best, Jugal!

'Pyaar Impossible' is not an exaggerated love story: Jugal Hansraj
Q. It was Aditya Chopra who persuaded you to direct your first film - the animation 'Roadside Romeo'. How did 'Pyaar Impossible' happen?
After 'Roadside Romeo' was finished, my best friend and actor Uday Chopra came to me with the script he had penned down. I liked the script. Uday, who was planning to produce the movie, then asked if I would direct it. I said yes and in no time we had started shooting. The only thing that took a while was Priyanka Chopra's approval. She was busy and took around two months to give her nod.
Q. After an animation movie, were you apprehensive about directing a movie with real people?
The technicalities are the same for both. The camera angles and the production values do not differ. With real people, there is more scope for spontaneity which is lacking in an animation film. And sketching out animated characters takes longer but with good actors your task is cut out.
Q. Having worked with Yash Raj Films earlier must have made the process easier, right?
Definitely. With YRF, you are sure to get guidance from all quarters. Aditya was always there with his inputs which made life easy for me. Karan Johar also gave his inputs during the making of the movie and as well as after seeing the rushes.
Q. The love story of a geek and a beauty has been heard and seen earlier. How differently have you told it?
I know that we have heard it in fairytales. But this movie is more conversational and not with heavy dialogues. It is not an exaggerated love story, but a simple one where people go through different emotions.
Q. How come you haven't considered acting lately?
Acting has always ranked way above everything else for me. I would love to get back to acting as soon as I possibly can. Soon after the release of 'Pyaar Impossible', I will start considering a few scripts.
Q. While you were an actor, did you ever think of turning to other aspects of filmmaking?
I did not. All I wanted to do was act. It was Aditya who after seeing my obsession with animation films, asked me to direct YRF's first.
Q. What's next on the agenda?
I'm always raring to work. But I guess I will have to wait a bit after the release of 'Pyaar Impossible' because we haven't finalised anything so far

YRF - Jugal Hansraj film titled ROADSIDE ROMEO?
Joginder Tuteja, IndiaGlitz [Monday, April 09, 2007]
Is the directorial debut of Jugal Hansraj titled ROADSIDE ROMEO?
That's the speculation going around the town ever since news came in that actor Jugal Hansraj has been roped in by Yash Raj Films to direct their first ever animation film. Another highlight of this film is that it won't be based on human beings but, hold your breath, dogs! Hence the title ROADSIDE ROMEO!
To add spice to the flavor, there are also rumors of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor being roped in to give voiceover for the two dogs who are the prime protagonists in the film.
Will there be an official confirmation soon?
