Situation hasn’t changed. Though the British people left the country, the authoritarian power is still there. And to portray that I made this film. The characters you portrayed in the movie it has contemporary background. Was it difficult merging the recent backdrop with the novel? It’s inspired by the novel not thoroughly followed. The movie and the novel are very different from one another. What difference you find in yourself when you first directed a film and when you direct a film now? World has changed so have I. My style of thinking got changed. I have evolved as a director.
