Very grateful for being able to make Chalchitra Talks exactly how we wanted to make it. I was streaming a few days back, and got emotional in the middle of the streaming thinking -- I am so glad Chalchitra Talks exists -- a platform where we can nerd out and feel okay doing so.

The Breaking Bad crossover that I want to see in Better Call Saul is one where Walter White casually takes Skyler and their son to Los Pollos Hermanos for a meal, after a stressful day at school on a normal weekday. They eat the chicken, pay the bill and leave. That's it.

One lesser known aspect of film industry is ghosting which happens after success (even failure). You see these people on billboards or bump into them at premieres. You then look at them and realise they didn't ghost out of malice, they are just sleepwalking in waking life.
