Director appreciation
Bajpayee's high praise for director Behl
In an earlier interview with Variety, Bajpayee spoke highly of Behl's unique directorial style. He said that every young actor should want to work with Behl at least once in their career. "The workshops that he makes you go through, the takes that he makes you go through, all of it... it all boils down to only one thing: the vast experience of filmmaking," said Bajpayee. Behl is also known for the critically acclaimed movies Agra and Titli.
