He recalls his days in film school when he used to live in small flat with five people. He had a friend who was English and most the time they used to speak in English. Moreover, all other flat mates had a different mother tongue. So, the common language to have a conversation was English. He started his filmmaking in Germany and moved to the United States to makes movies.

In 2009, his debut movie in English ‘The Crocodiles’ released. The movie was appraised and loved by people. So, in 2010 he came out with the sequel of the franchise named ‘The Crocodiles 2.’ From making an action-packed thriller adventure movie in German, he switched to romantic comedies in English genre. In 2014, he made ‘Love, Rosie’ which was again loved by audiences. His latest movie is ‘How to be single’ which is going to release soon in 2016.

He admits that that even after having a majority of females in his family, he has less knowledge about the fairer sex. He says that the best thing about filmmaking is that you always learn and found a little bit more about various things.
