“It was particularly wonderful to collaborate with such amazing actors and creative people from the northeast part of India and also discover the enormously varied delectable cuisine. Naga food has become my favourite,” said Sayani.

“I had to get the accent, body language, tonality correctly.A I knew people would be looking at me with extra care and I had to do justice to the authenticity of the part. I have very close friends who speak Nepali and I had to justice to them as well,” she said.
“I was super nervous but also worked extra hard to be as authentic as possible. Also, my friends Cephas and my hairdresser Marya were my Nepali coaches. It’s a film that Nicholas made with a great deal of love and honesty,” she added.
