Sayani Gupta talks about making her directorial debut

A graduate of the Film and Television Institute of India, Sayani shared that this moment has been years in the making. “Making a film has been a 17-year-long dream ever since I stepped foot into film school,” she said. “All these years, with every set I’ve been on as an actor, that desire has only grown stronger. In a world ridden with so much chaos and atrocity, cinema can truly act as a medium for discourse, resistance, evocation, and perhaps even a balm.”
