Sharat and Radhika talked about their own process of directing and acting, respectively. Sharat spoke about working with actors and Radhika about getting in the skin of a character. Ritesh Batra moderated the session about the process of working on a film.
The one hour long session was held from 10-11 am at the Irani cafe and was attended by film enthusisats and aspiring filmmakers.
When an aspiring actor asked Radhika about auditioning she said, "I wouldn't have got Badlapur if I had to audition. I am terrible in auditions". Sharat also expressed a similar opinion about being tested for his writing skills, "If someone asks me to give sample of my wiring to test my skills, I just cant write."
