Chiming into the conversation, Ankita said: “I just remembered something, when '
‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!’ is directed and co-written by Dibakar Banerjee, which is based on the fictional detective Byomkesh Bakshi, created by the Bengali writer Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay.

The actress strongly believes that the audiences have evolved.
“They want good cinema. People want different kinds of cinema.”
Prior to the conversation, IANS had asked what makes filmmaking daunting.
Sandeep said: "When people start teaching you about whether to make a film or not. It took me a year and a half just to secure a basic signing amount for this film, and people discourage you. They say ‘you would come on the road if you make these kinds of films’.
The producer of Randeep Hooda-starrer ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ added: “People keep telling me all this. So many makers tell me that the films that you make are very boring.
