Neha Dhupia has been in the industry for over two decades and has seen it go through a transition. She has worked with some top filmmakers like Anees Bazmee, Priyadarshan, Apoorva Lakhia, among several others. In an exclusive chat on mid-day’s The Bombay Film Story, the actress shared how the environment on film sets has changed. She recalled how directors were spontaneous and actors were comfortable working even without scripts.
Neha stated how things are different on movie sets now as compared to when she started. “It’s very different now. There is good to amazing content. Nobody is greenlighting bad content. I have been on sets where there were no scripts, but you have faith,” she said. She added, “Singh Is Kinng was a big film and it did really well, but the script lay in the director`s hand, and on that day, you would get the scene.”
