Filmmaking is a natural progression …
Being a photographer, yet this time he is not behind the camera. On asking him that why he opted to produce a film, instead directing it. On a very exciting note he replies, "I'll soon take up direction as well, within couple of years and it will be an emotional hue.

Apart from Subi, it's USP...
Apart from Subi Samuel producing the film ALAG, it has more enticing factors, which will definitely attract the masses. Adding more to its USP, Subi said, "The story of the movie, itself is exciting enough to attract the viewers. It's a Sci-fi movie, where the hero (Akshay Kapoor) has special (supernatural) powers. With further interweaves the hi-tech special effects by EFX and action by Abbas Ali Mughal. So, besides it being Subi's production, it has brilliant special effects and amazing action, which guarantees success for my venture."
Hollywood high…
On hearing its storyline, it sounds more or less like some of the Sci-fi's of Hollywood. Letting us know more about the supernatural powers involved in the film, he replied, "Yes, definitely you can rank it along with other Hollywood's sci-fictions but the story is undoubtedly original. We have used very unique special effects and amazing action and perfect music by Aadesh Shrivastav. Even the casting has been done, keeping the script in mind and I must say both Dia Mirza and Akshay Kapoor has portrayed their characters beautifully." Conceitedly he further said, "I loved the story and I fell in love with it. I may sound cocky, but I'm very much confident that this film will be highly appreciated."

Hope the film ALAAG lives up to its name and create a success story for a photographer turned producer. How we wish to see Subi as an ace filmmaker in near future!
