“Visually and stylistically, all of us have very exciting personal styles that I think we have not seen ever — or perhaps in a very long time — in our films that we make in India. And I think globally it’s going to be something that people don’t expect, certainly,” she added, further building anticipation around the film’s aesthetic ambition and international appeal.

One of the aspects Tara seemed most moved by was the coming together of multiple women across generations and different phases of their careers within the same cinematic space. “It has also been really interesting to see so many women come together alongside Yash, he has been incredible both as a human being and as a co-star,” she shared.

Reflecting on the collaborative energy on set, she continued, “To see all of us women come together at different ages and stages of our lives, careers, all of it, and really celebrate each scene… when we are together, I just sit and observe because it is so rare to do that and to experience another. It’s been really the joy of my life.”
