Dehradun, Sept. 15 -- In conversation with Shailender Vyas, Director of JL50 series released on Sony LIV

Shailender took no time in choosing his career path. Just as he was on the verge of completing grade XII, he figured out that he was meant to be in the film industry. He straightway joined the Asian Academy for Film and Television, Noida, run by Sandeep Marwah. 'I was into many things - acting, singing, writing and direction. Then, one day, my father asked me my core interest and the field I saw myself performing best in. I gave a thorough thought to it and zeroed in on direction as my domain. Since then, I have focussed solely on direction. Although I edit songs, and I write stories, but direction is where my interest is.'
