Zoya Akhtar organised boot camps for newbies
Before the movie's release, director Zoya Akhtar shared her experience of working with the debutants. She revealed that everyone went through a rigorous training process to ace their performance.
In her recent conversation with Vogue India, Zoya said that they had to do a complete boot camp to prepare all the fresh faces to portray their roles perfectly.
The filmmaker also shared the challenges where she pointed out that they all were completely 'raw' and they needed a complete boot camp for different reasons.
The 50-year-old director added, “One is you want your characters to be who you want them to be. You want to co-create something with the actor. Two, you want them to be comfortable when they hit the scene because it is overwhelming. You have other people on the set. You have a camera in your face and you have to come up there and you have to perform. When the word action is said, it is daunting.”
She further elaborates that there was a big boot camp that aimed to get them along with each other, enhance their confidence, and develop a level of ease, which only comes if they are well-prepared and not so nervous.
