What made you take up ‘Ulajh’?

She is very hardworking. I have tremendous respect for those who are hardworking and dedicated to the craft. I am laid back in life and find inspiration in such people. Janhvi was very hardworking during the rehearsals and the shoot.

How did you prepare for the role?

I had sessions with the director. He has a vision and I had some ideas of my own. Mostly, it was all about the imagination. At times, you also need to learn a skill. My preparation involves thinking about the role and understanding the director’s vision. In pre-productions, we try to build a strong foundation.

Did you have any disagreements with the director Sudhanshu Saria over creative matters?

There is always such a point. All creative people can’t think the same. It is always good to have some creative friction. I often push in one direction and the director pushes in another. I don’t believe that I have figured everything out.

Are there any similarities between you and the character?

There are always some similarities. For some characters, you look inward. In other cases, you look outward and rely on the imagination.

Lastly, do you have any professional regrets?

Nothing such as but then there are a few things that you wish had turned out better. However, you cannot control everything. It’s not up to one person to make a film. There’s a team involved.
