I’m more of a Zeenat Aman fan or Rekha. So, Sharmila Tagore, she eluded me in that sense.”

That is, I think, one of the big surprises to me, that I grew to love Sharmila Tagore and (turning to Hamza) you remember you sang that song? When we were on set and – yeah. Those songs are now so much a part of – whenever I hear that song somewhere, it’s so evocative, it’s something that I learned now.”
Furthermore, Bucha revealed, “The thing that really sold the script to me was the scene that I read with you (to Mirza), the Tupperware scene. That’s what drew me to this film. If this film is going to have a Tupperware scene, then nobody else is going to do this, I want to do this (prompting laughter). I loved it so much, that was my favourite bit. It was really fun to do. For me, as an actor, just something small in the frame, just something there will just do something to me.”
