Talpade's experience
Talpade on why he accepted the film
Speaking to Telegraph, Talpade recently revealed, "I heard the entire story and loved it. This is an absolutely original story. It is inspired by Soham's close cousin who went through something like what happens in the film."
"The second-most important reason was Soham himself. I have been wanting to work with him for quite some time now. We were about to work in Luck (2009) but it didn't happen."
