Vedika Pinto consulted Anurag Kashyap before signing 'Musafir Cafe'
What's the story
Vedika Pinto, who is currently basking in the success of Musafir Cafe, recently revealed that she consulted her Nishaanchi director Anurag Kashyap before accepting the offer. She told Mid-Day, "Before I signed Musafir Cafe, I called AK to tell him about it." "In typical AK style, he asked, 'Story kya hai? What's your role? Who is directing it?'" "Five questions later, he asked about my co-star and the platform. Then he said that I must do it."
Career progression
'Nishaanchi' opened many doors for me'
Pinto further revealed that Nishaanchi, directed by Kashyap, opened many doors for her in the industry.
"Nishaanchi opened many doors for me because the industry believes that if you've worked in an Anurag Kashyap film, you must be a good actor."
"But I didn't get the audience's appreciation."
"With Musafir Cafe, we're getting so much love. So, I have one project that backs me as an actor and another that has the audience's love."
