"Dia Mirza has revealed that she turned down three film offers in order to commit herself fully to producing Bobby Jasoos. In an interview with Digital Spy, the actress-turned-producer said that her passion for filmmaking has even surpassed her love of acting.  &amp;quot;When I actually started producing Bobby Jasoos, I got three film offers,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;They were pretty tempting, but I thought, &amp;#039;I can&amp;#039;t give up this film&amp;#039;. I just love every day that I&amp;#039;m on the set and making it happen and witnessing this magic. I keep teasing Vidya Balan that it is her first film because it&amp;#039;s going to be a really special film for her.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s beyond anything that I have ever felt as an actor and maybe this is what my calling was. I love being in front of the camera, but I love being behind the camera even more.  Mirza, who formed her home production company Born Free Entertainment in collaboration with her fianc\u00C3\u00A9 Sahil Sangha, suggested that her experience as an actor enabled her to be more effective in her role as a producer.  &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re sensitive to the needs of the actors,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think actors in any film feel neglected, but as an actor I think I have been sensitive about the crew and the way the rest of the team were treated.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve really conscientiously made every effort to make every single person who has been a part of the film process feel ownership, feel a deep sense of appreciation for what they each do and what they contribute to the film,&amp;quot; she added.      Mirza said that she organised workshops ahead of shooting to ensure that the cast achieved a comfort level with one another that would be reflected in the film. &amp;quot;We organised a workshop for the actors to explore their characters and their journey,&amp;quot; Mirza recalled. &amp;quot;This was done to make the director more comfortable with all of them because it was his first film, but also because for the rest of the cast it was pretty much the first time they were all working with each other.  &amp;quot;And it was important that everyone felt a certain comfort with each other given their dynamics in relation to the film. That perhaps was the actor in me that sought out these experiences for the cast and the crew. These are some of the things that the actor Dia can contribute to the film.&amp;quot; Praising the crew involved in her second home production, she commented: &amp;quot;Every single person has owned the process of this film and loved it so the film has really been nurtured with great heart and honesty, and I really believe the audience will see that and experience that.&amp;quot;  The actress, who is engaged to business partner Sahil Sangha, said that working with her future life partner had been a wonderful experience. &amp;quot;We share identical core values and one thing that makes the process work is that we don&amp;#039;t have any egos and we work together without any troubles,&amp;quot; she said.  &amp;quot;Its not as if you&amp;#039;re setting off in two different directions, I am a little more emotionally charged and he&amp;#039;s a little more practical and emotional and that creates a great balance.&amp;quot; As for her forthcoming nuptials, the actress insisted that a wedding is still in the works.  &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s been a production in waiting for a while,&amp;quot; she joked. &amp;quot;Not to say that we&amp;#039;ve neglected it. We&amp;#039;ve just been so consumed by Bobby Jasoos. Once we&amp;#039;re done with Bobby Jasoos, we can get to that. But it&amp;#039;s something we&amp;#039;re both excited about and we&amp;#039;re looking forward to and I&amp;#039;m sure it will be wonderful.&amp;quot; The film stars Vidya Balan, Ali Fazal, Arjan Bajwa, Anupriya, Zarina Wahab and Tanvi Azmi. Bobby Jasoos is released on July 4. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
