In an exclusive interview with Zoom, Rohan stated that it isn't needed for producers t always agree to actor's demands. "Since I haven't made a theatrical film in a while, I cannot directly answer in terms of my interaction with actors. But I don't think I'm of that nature to work that way. I would cut off in my head very quickly or distance myself and do it like an out-of-body experience," he said."I don't like to engage in this day-to-day drama that doesn't work for me. I can't work that way. It has to be collaborative. If you don't like it, let's not do it. And if we do, let's understand what this job is all about. Let's make the best of it because somebody is putting a lot of money into it, and we should do our best to make it entertaining," Rohan added.

She was outstanding," he shared.ALSO READ: Shoojit Sircar Reacts To 'Piku' Deepika Padukone Getting Removed From Kalki Sequel, Spirit Over Working Hours Debate: I Respect...
