Vicky Kaushal would regret if he'd rejected this film
Vicky Kaushal
Vicky Kaushal had a career turnaround with Uri: The Surgical Strike, a film that he says he "almost" turned down. The actor said he initially failed to "connect" with the script in the midst of an intense shooting schedule for Raazi. It was his father, action director Sham Kaushal, who read it. "He told me, 'If you miss doing this film, it'll be the stupidest decision of your life." After a deeper look into the script, he "called RSVP and said please don't go to any other actor".

Gurinder Chadha
Filmmaker Gurinder Chadha said smaller films have little room in theatrical distribution today. The Indian-origin British filmmaker said in India, mainstream and parallel cinema have always co-existed but she cannot see that happening anymore. "There's a great crisis globally for independent films. Those kind of smaller stories, relationship stories that aren't big on visual effects, action, they've got squeezed. It's a shame that I'm seeing that in India as well."
