She tells us, “As a kid, I used to be excited and would look forward to returning to school after vacations. Remember that feeling when a kid goes back to school after a long break? It felt exactly like that.”
Though Taapsee was back to doing what she loves the most, she says that the massive hole led to a dip in her confidence whereas dealing with the digicam. She elaborates, “I was slightly nervous, as I hadn’t worked for five months. It made me doubt myself. I thought, ‘Would I be as good as I was, in front of the camera?’ I wondered whether I would have to start from scratch, as the craft of ‘acting’ wasn’t exercised for many months. So frankly, that little anxiety was there. But I am glad that it all went smoothly.”
Taapsee, who has wrapped up the schedule, shares that the movie co-starring Vijay Sethupathi was shot amidst a managed setting to keep away from any dangers. She says, “We shot most of the film at the same location that we were staying at. Hygiene measures and all necessary precautions were taken care of.” Talking about adjusting to the new regular, which included fewer crew members and plenty of security measures, the actress says, “For the first few days we were getting used to the sanitisation process, being in masks on sets, etc. Following all the measures did affect the pace of the shoot in the beginning, but in a couple of days, we got used to it.”
