Quotes
Honey Trehan
Director and former casting director
“Like, while solving every case somewhere, he (Siddiqui) finds a flaw in himself and by the time he solves the case, he removes that element from his life. In the first case, he had complex beliefs about patriarchy, and he wanted a girl who was beautiful, well-mannered. Finally, Jatil meets Radha (Radhika Apte) and he came out of that patriarchy. Similarly, while solving this new case, he will come out of another thing,”

“When I read Smita's (Singh) script, I liked it. I immediately dropped the three-four ideas that I had without wasting any time and said, ‘let's make this’. She trusted me with it and that's how ‘Raat Akeli Hai’ happened. ‘Raat Akeli Hai’ has its own universe, it's a cop universe created by Jatil,”

“When you work with such experienced and talented directors, they have their own perspective, and that perspective is very close to real life. Like, Honey said, ‘I’ll have those characters that exist (in real life) in all my films. I like it a lot when we see those characters that are around us,’”

“I like Honey’s films because that character, that world exists around us. We make fantasy or larger-than-life films but what I like the most is the real-life stories.”
