Lalit Pandit recalls how he and brother Jatin parted ways during Fanaa: ‘I was unhappy about it and I told him’

Talking about the reason behind their split, Lalit Pandit said that he felt that he was not in the loop anymore as he was the “captain” of the ship and was “unhappy” about the changes. “I could feel the energy change. I was captain of the team. I used to take everything forward myself. And I needed to know everything that was happening which changed so I was unhappy about it and I told him that this shouldn’t be happening,” he said. Lalit continued, “But anyway, he made his own decision and I decided that agar dil mein correct nahi lag raha hai toh fir music banana mushkil hai (If it is not feeling right, then it will be difficult to make music together). Just on simple principles, I just thought not to do it. A split is never good. It is bitter for everybody.”

Lalit was asked about working with Jatin again to which he said that he is happy with the way he has been working independently. “Frankly speaking, I’m happy with the way I have worked. I have done individual films. There’s a freedom I feel which I needed and I do feel that and I am enjoying the process of life that is happening with me. Every bit of it,” he said.

Earlier, when Jatin Pandit was asked about the same, he had told the publication, “If a person wishes to sit down and resolve things, that can happen. But if someone doesn’t have that intention of solving things…” His son, Raahul Pandit, had, however, said that he wishes for his uncle and father to patch things up.
