Actor Anshuman Jha has quite an exciting year ahead of him, both in his personal and professional life. His directorial debut, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, is finally going on floors, and he is all set to marry his girlfriend, Sierra, who is from the USA. Talking about getting hitched, he says, “We have waited for the pandemic to go away, and this winter it will be [a good time to get married].”

On the work front, Jha says, “As an actor, I have Lakadbaggha, which is an out-and-out action drama coming out this winter, and [I also have] 4/4, the web series [releasing]. And (as a director), Lord Curzon... is getting all my attention for now.”

The Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele (2021) actor goes on, “Our company is also producing another college-based rom-com. I am neither directing nor acting in it, but I am an executive producer on it. A lot of actors in the West do it, like Bradley Cooper or Ben Affleck, or back home, Aamir (Khan) sir, who is an inspiration.”

The 36-year-old reveals that he had been waiting to begin  working on his directorial venture for two years, but the Coronavirus pandemic disrupted his plans. However, he says that being an actor, one develops a lot of patience, so frustration is never a part of the game: “When Curzon got pushed for the first time during the lockdown, it was a wait-and-watch situation. And, 2020 was a blur in some ways. But I know it will happen when it’s meant to.”
