• Well, I’m not sure of its release date but Ashes was a small, independent film I made with a friend of mind [Ajay Naidu]. He and I have been friends for a long time. The movie is semi-auto-biographical [about a young Indo-American man who struggles in the inner city of New York to support himself and his mentally ill older brother]. It’s a really small movie. But a lot of New York actors did it together, which was really cool. It’s a passion project and they’re so much fun to work on because everyone is supportive of each other and everybody pulls together.

• I should talk about that. ‘Ashes‘ is Ajay Naidu who’s an activist. It’s his directorial debut and he’s a friend of mine and he’s a genius. He’s in ‘Office Space‘ and he’s in all these sort of amazing films. This movie is semi-biographical about when he and his brother first moved to Manhattan and the whole Bhangra hip hop scene was coming off in New York – all these sort of Punjabi DJ’s mixing in all this stuff and the kind of dance craze that sort of started within that. It’s f*cking fun! It’s really cool and the dancing is… I’m so excited they’re making musicals. I mean it’s not a musical, it’s a drama, but I like musicals and I think it sort of speaks to that.
