In an interview, filmmaker Tushar Tyagi talks about 'Saving Chintu' and why he wanted Adil Hussain for the film.
Please tell us about the casting for the film. What were your reasons for picking the actors?
We ended up flying Sachin Bhatt from Los Angeles . We didn't have a budget to fly another actor, a white actor from LA but luckily we came across Edward Sonnenblick who is American but lives in Mumbai and works in the Indian Film Industry. When Dipannita Sharma was locked for the role of Meera, I was so happy, as she came in with such force and grace and owned the role.
I always pick subjects or stories I connect the most with, stories of human resilience, kindness, love, loss, learning, and life experiences. The stories I think must be told, The stories I relate with because somewhere down the line I've lived through similar experiences of love, loss, lost and gained faith,confidence or resilience. I make my films with all honesty and research, I rarely am bothered by what amount of audience it might reach. I think it's a process of growing.
