Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
Being on a set where the director has lost control is just sickening. No one goes the extra mile, there’s a lot of eye-rolling… it just breeds inertia. If a director is in control, the crew follow their leader. But the second anyone senses the directors are not sure, people just swoop in.

I come from a political family. My father was a freedom fighter. He was a prominent leader of the locality and member of the Congress party. He spent 10 years in British prisons.
