These characters are all part of our society. In fact, the character of Maruti played by Mangesh Desai in this film, was very close to me and I had seen his depressed state of mind, after he lost all his family members in a tragedy. Through this film, I have tried to focus on the emotional side of each and every character and all the artistes have done a wonderful job.” he said.
