12th Fail director Vidhu Vinod Chopra recalls moment when he wanted to ‘kill himself’; says, ‘I was standing in Lonavala on a highway…’
Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who first stepped into direction with a short film in 1976, is now a highly recognized filmmaker in India. Not too long ago, this director shared his personal struggle when he contemplated suicide following the release of his initial full-length movie, Sazaye Maut. At that time, life had left him disenchanted and he found himself standing near trucks on the outskirts of Lonavala, but his affection for his family prevented him from taking a drastic step.
