Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, who is known for politically edgy films such as 'Mulk', 'Article 15' and 'Anek', has said he would be half dead if he were not helming movies.

Speaking at a FICCI Frames panel discussion alongside 'The Family Man' duo Raj and DK, Sinha said: "I was an engineer and I became a director, then it was out of no choice that I started writing. It has been for 30 years that I have been writing and now I enjoy it a lot. If I were not directing, I would be half dead, but the other half that would have remained alive, would probably keep writing."

Sinha said he would never be a producer, even though he has played that part in movies such as 'Gulaab Gang', 'Tum Bin 2' and 'Thappad'.

Explaining his change of heart, Sinha said: "Producing has become a rather inconvenient business. Financing and producing are two different things that most people do not get."

On the work front, Sinha last directed 'Bheed', a social drama set in the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown days. It stars Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza, Ashutosh Rana, Pankaj Kapur and Kritika Kamra.
