Actor-turned-director Pankaj Kapoor admits that the story of his directorial debut "Mausam" was specifically conceived for his actor son Shahid, but he had no specific names in his mind for the female lead.

"The film was specifically written keeping Shahid in mind. It's not that I had written the script and then decided on Shahid," Pankaj told reporters at the launch of the first look of "Mausam" at PVR.

"I had other scripts and we wondered whether Shahid could be part of them or a fresh script should be written for him? We decided to write a fresh script and that's how the birth of 'Mausam' took place," he added.

"Mausam", a love story, will see Shahid as a pilot and he has teamed up with Sonam Kapoor in it.

Shiva Ganapathy-directed "Nee Illadhe" is a real nightmare for the audience. The film has absolutely no credible story to boast of. It will be an understatement to describe the film as slow and tedious. For about 120 minutes, the film drags on and the unsuspecting audience may well feel that they have been led into a torture chamber.
