Quotes
Radhikka Madan
Actor who plays Sailee in Shakun Batra’s Lust Stories 3 segment
“I would say that he has a very effortless way of shooting things and writing, per se. I think the writing is so relatable. It's in a language that is spoken the way we speak in everyday life. There is no dialogue-baazi, per se. It's very, very relatable, very much like, 'Oh, this is how I would say it and this is how I would talk.' So that really helps in performing the scene and the way he shoots, the way he directs. You also don't want to do something over the top, and you don't feel like do”
