Bony said this is the first time he has worked with his father, Anup Sengupta, which gave him a change to learnt quite a few things. “Every now and then, he would correct me if I was doing something wrong. While other directors would simply tell me how to do things the correct way, my father made sure I knew where I was going wrong,” he added.

Bony said he was quite tense before the shoot because he thought he might be scolded by his father. “When I assisted my father, he used to be very grumpy and scolded people left and right. But this time he was much more easy going and calm,” he added.

But somehow, we completed the shoot,” Bony signed off.
