Mumbai. Jai Mehta, director of the web series ‘Looter’, has said that he is a director who understands actors and also seriously considers what according to him can happen outside the scope of the script. The series stars Rajat Kapoor, Vivek Gomber, Amrita Khanwilkar, Aamir Ali and others.
It is the story of Rajat Kapoor as the captain of a ship and his struggle with the criminal legacy of pirates. On his experience of working with actors, Jai Mehta said that the process I follow, I have learned from Hansal sir that we choose an actor to see what he can bring.
Example of a scene from the series
The actors are our colleagues and the producers of the show are also with us. After this he gave an example of a scene from the show. He said that in a scene in Lootere where Vivek Gomber’s character meets the ship’s captain Rajat for the first time, it was written differently, but we asked them to do what they thought they should do. I am a director who understands actors. First we shoot the scene with our actors and then with the help of my cinematographer I also see the scene which should be according to them.
Father’s teachings also helped
Elaborating on what he has learned from his father, Jai Mehta said that I take his feedback and opinions really seriously and it matters not just to me but to everyone on the set. He has a lot of experience and when I co-directed the Scam series with him, my learning potential increased a lot. I still have a lot to learn from him. He is always calm on the set, I have never seen him lose his temper. ‘Looter’ is streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar.
