And after a lot of scenes, when I go home, and think about a scene, that alertness that Aatish has. We have that tuning between us.

Sometimes we just get it in the blink of an eye that he wants me to do what I did in the 44A or 37B scene. so we know what we are referring to. So, it's that kind of tuning we have”.

He further mentioned, “We are very good friends personally. But professionally, our tuning is very good, no doubt about it. We never force each other. If I were to elaborate that, let’s say there is a character that I think I can fit in, I don’t think, ‘Why didn't he approach me?’. It doesn't bother me.

At the same time, for him, maybe I suit the part, but I tell him honestly, ‘I would not like to do this’”.
