Helming the second season of Sixer was a chance Divyanshu Malhotra was solely too blissful about. There was just one hitch. “It was a couple of matter that I didn’t know a lot of,” he says of the sequence that revolves round a bunch of native cricketers navigating interpersonal relationships and politics.
As he joined the MX Participant drama led by actor and author Shivankit Singh Parihar, Malhotra knew he needed to dive deep into cricket. Solely then would he be capable to amp up the drama. He shares, “Shivankit and Harish [Peddinti, writer] had elevated the second season. These individuals breathed cricket, whereas I used to be an informal viewer. So, for the following few months, I stored watching matches and my spouse was puzzled, saying, ‘You’ve by no means liked cricket a lot. What’s occurring?’”

Ultimately, the director’s weak point grew to become his greatest power. He explains, “I need to watch cricket that excites me as a viewer. So, I received the chance to suppose from the viewers’s perspective — how do I direct the matches in order that they’d be entertaining?”
The filmmaker is now trying to the long run. He’s organising his personal studio, Sukhna Studios. “I received’t be capable to direct each story I consider in. So, I could develop it with writers, or produce it with a youthful director on the helm. I need to allow youthful administrators.”
