From creating stunning visuals and using extraordinary jewellery and outfits to tie the look of the actresses together, the director went to extra lengths to showcase his art. Now, actress Jayati Bhatia – who was seen in the role of Phatto in the period drama – has opened up about a different side to the director which will leave you surprised.

In an interview with a news portal, Jayati Bhatia shared, “When he finds the shot to be excellent, he won’t say okay.
