The actor says Pradeep Sarkar gets the work done without raising his voice

Everybody wants to work with a director who will get the unexpected out of them and he does that without screaming”

Kajol who has collaborat­ed with filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar for Helicopter Eela can’t stop gushing about her director. The actress feels that Sarkar who has made films like Ma rd a a ni, Parineeta among others, is one of the few directors who still makes relevant films.

Kajol says, “He has just recently joined Instagram so that was a shocker. He has a great sense of humor and it’s evident at any given day and time. You don’t get that older judgmental feel from him or his films.” The 63year- old director also doesn’t believe in raising his decibel on sets. “Everybody wants to work with a director who will get the unexpected out of them and he does that without screaming and shouting on sets and doesn’t make you feel pressurise­d,” she added.

The actress who plays a single mother in the film says that everyone has a pre- conceived notion of what a perfect parent should be like. “In our head, consciousl­y or unconsciou­sly, we have an idea of what a perfect mother is and we have to live up to that image. Nobody will come to your face and say that you are a bad mom but they may give you these side looks that will indicate that you are not a perfect parent,” she adds.
