Quotes
Harshvardhan Rane
Actor playing Daya Nayak in Police Company
“The way he uses sound, you know, there was a shot of an old woman and the shot was of the street and he added the sound of that old woman's breath as an audio. So scary, but so smart as a director. Without using the visual, just by the audio, he played a lot. Amazing. He's a genius.”

“I just have to thank my stars that I am doing his film.”
