“I never thought I would be directing this film,” Kunal Kemmu says about his directorial debut, Madgaon Express.
“I had romanticised about it, but did not plan anything. I liked writing so when I wrote the script, I thought I would just act in it. Those, who read the script, said I had written the movie differently and that I should make it myself.
“At that time, I did not take it seriously but I am very happy that I took the decision to direct the film myself. I had a lot of fun!”
The film is about three boys — Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi and Avinash Tiwary — who dream about vacationing in Goa.
The dream does come true, but it turns into a nightmare, as they board the Madgaon Express to reach their destination.

Nora Fatehi, Upendra Limaye and Chhaya Kadam are also a part of the comedy drama.
“I had a lot of fun,” Nora says.
“Our off-set chemistry was really good. I learnt so much from Kunal and Divyenndu. They are extremely talented. Kunal is a smart director.”
