In 1983, when Bhanu Athaiya won an Oscar for costume design for her work on “Gandhi,” not everyone in Hollywood was thrilled.

Nearly six years after the release of his directorial debut Masaan, which won him numerous accolades, Neeraj Ghaywan is yet to make his second feature film. However, he’s done Geeli Pucchi, a short film in the Karan Johar-produced Netflix anthology, Ajeeb Daastans, that features Aditi Rao Hydari and Konkona Sen Sharma as two women who bond over their gender in a male-dominant workplace until caste intervenes in their tender relationship. The former plays Priya Sharma, a chatty, gullible woman who comes as a breath of fresh air in her filmography.
Here’s Neeraj Ghaywan and Aditi Rao Hydari in a conversation with us, as they speak of creative choices, learnings, and takeaways:

March 8, 2021, will mark Ludhianvi’s centenary year. Be it the songs of
Pyaasa,
Hum Dono or
Chitralekha, Ludhianvi never held back. He attacked the aristocratic elite for exploiting the marginalised, oppressed classes. He turned on the custodians of religion when they threatened to tear asunder communal harmony by peddling hate.
Think of his immortal lines for the song in Yash Chopra’s
Dhool Ka Phool, where he begins on a sarcastic note – “jis ilm ne insaanon ko taqseem kiya hai, uss ilm ka tujh par koi ilzaam nahin hai”. His wrath towards hate-mongers at the end of the song is unmistakable:
