Speaking about it, he said, “House arrest is a fantastic script. It’s witty, very fresh and for me selfishly the character is very very arched and layered. So it was a fun time on sets to play this part. Even though it’s a comedy, it’s complex and I got to go on set everyday and do something new and fresh even tho it was all one place. . Working with Shriya is always fun and working the second time with her was a natural comfort that just came without trying.. Also Shashanka Ghosh is a genius along with Samit basu who is the brains behind this venture, they both have such clarity on what they want and how they want it. While they are the Leaders of the free world, they also allowed us actors to have our freehand to work with our creative liberties too.
Its been a great team effort. And being through the genius eye of Jehangir (legendary DOP )”
