When asked how and from where he entered this field of telling fiction and fantasies, Akhtar said that he never took films seriously but when he had to do a job he decided that film-making would be best suited for him.

"I really didn't think about films that seriously when I was in school or college. I really enjoyed watching movies but I never ever thought that I would be making them or writing them. But, you do have fantasies to be in a certain film or to be a part of it when you are a fan." he said

"But that was really not an extend that how far it went and its really strange because of the threat almost to be thrown out of home that I must get a job and it felt like a very natural thing to me, since that's my interest that I should do something in films," Akhtar added.

"Its weird but time just presents itself in the ways they want me to do it. So, that's really how it happens. I don't go out of my way to make time to do it. More often if a decision is made that this is what I want to do and just do stuff towards that direction," he said.
