Mumbai, Jan 24 (NationPress) Vikramaditya Motwane's recent directorial project was the Netflix series "Black Warrant". He recently shared insights about collaborating with Sameer Nair, the Managing Director of Applause Entertainment.
Highlighting the significance of a unified vision, mutual respect, and a readiness to embrace creative challenges, Vikramaditya Motwane stated, “A producer embodies many roles.

He elaborated, “This is how we approached this project (Black Warrant), with macro insights from Sameer, Deepak, and their team. They were involved in determining how we could enhance the project and improve its marketing. A proficient producer essentially supports their director and serves as the overall vision keeper of the production.”
On the other hand, Sameer Nair expressed his thoughts on working with Vikramaditya Motwane, stating, “In the scenario of Vikram and Black Warrant, he is not merely a director; he is a producing collaborator. He participates in every facet of the project. Overall, I believe the industry has progressed considerably. Directors now arrive with well-structured plans—improved writing methods, pre-production strategies, and enhanced discipline. As producers, our role is to ensure the process is as seamless and enjoyable as possible, focusing on making the best possible impression and fostering relationships along the way.”
