Recently, in a talk with us, director Ranjit M Tewari shared his experience about shooting the film during COVID conditions.
“Pandemic was difficult to go out and shoot. The process of prepping for a film whether in terms of production and creativity was a unique thing. Where you could not meet people, all the prep was on zoom calls. So that was a new things which we had not experienced before. We definitely wanted to meet people, discuss and prep and meetings physically, that wasn’t happening, which was bothering initially. We slowly found ways to do things,” Tewari said.
“You know casting an entire film on zoom calls. And there are like 50-60 actors in a film, if you look at the totality of it. Casting them on zoom calls where you cannot see them physically to see how they look, or walk . So those are the risks you take on instinct,” he added.
