Kunal Kemmu is returning to the director’s chair with VIBE, but his latest outing came with an added challenge, directing veteran actor Sharmila Tagore. The film, which releases on September 18, sees Kemmu double up as its writer, co-producer and actor. Tagore, who is also Kemmu’s mother-in-law, makes a cameo in the film.

Sharmila Tagore wanted cameo in VIBE

For Kemmu, the opportunity was both exciting and daunting. Tagore’s illustrious career includes collaborations with filmmakers such as Satyajit Ray and Hrishikesh Mukherjee, something that was not lost on the actor-turned-director. “I don't know if I can handle this pressure,” he admitted while speaking to Variety India.
