Actor-filmmaker Rahul Bose says when he actively played rugby for India internationally, he chose films according to his sports calendar. Rahul, known for films like English, August, Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, Chameli, Pyaar Ke Side Effects and 15 Park Avenue, was a part of a Redefining Stories panel at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here on Thursday.

Asked about his transition from being an actor to a director, Rahul, who first helmed "Everybody Says I'm Fine" and then directed the 2017 film Poorna, said: "It was not calculative."
