The other is a complex family drama filled with lots of dark humour! Both movies gave me an opportunity to try comedy on screen again! Something I'd been yearning for! And I had a blast shooting for both the movies! It fills my heart to see that one year later, both movies are relevant amongst movie enthusiasts! P.S - my last 2 posts really make me feel like I'm reaping the happiness we sowed while shooting! These have been such memorable shoots!”
