Directors from the ad world are stubborn people

You are portraying a chef. Did you in any way prepare for your role?

Today, things have become very easy for actors. Balki, the director of this film is from advertising, and everything is well researched in advertising. They research everything from the way the film is to be plotted to your character... just everything.

After the research is done with they write the script, they talk to the actors and then they finally handover the script to us. The only thing we are required to do after all this is to mouth our dialogues.

Our director did 90% of the work for this film. It was he who stipulated and defined the way the set is to be erected, the characters of the film, the way we are supposed to mouth our dialogues, who will be our co-actors, what behaviour is required by us towards our co-actors, where will the shooting take place etc.

So most of the tension is eased out. The whole credit for the film goes to Balki. It was he who made our tasks easy.

That means you did not had to do much hard work for this film?

Yeah, it was Balki who did all the hard work.
