Anirudh Bhattacharyya:Tell me about the film and the Parsi tone in it.
Sooni Taraporevala: It’s a great topic, a community I wanted to make a film on. I can relate to it, so it was easy for me.
Anirudh Bhattacharyya:How was it working with kids?
Sooni Taraporevala: It was great. Some of the kids have never acted before. It was fun, a lot of the acting was inculcated on the spot.
