Mid-day.com catches up with director Danish Aslam as he tells us all about his web series, The Reunion- Chal Chalein Apne Ghar starring Lillete Dubey, Kashmira Irani, Prabal Panjabi, KK Raina and others. Shot in Odisha, the series is about a family coming together after the matriarch`s (Lillete Dubey) death.

How did The Reunion happen?
Dysfunctional families and relationships are something I enjoy a lot. It’s something I’ve explored in a couple of my previous shows as well. All the actors were auditioned except KK Raina sir who is a senior actor and I don’t think he needs to audition anymore. It took us a bit of time especially for Veer Rajwant Singh’s character because we were looking for people who fit the role. It took us around a month or two because of the pandemic the auditions couldn’t be held in person. Acting is such a tactile job, you like to be in the same room as the person to gauge what they are like and minor things, like the silences, gestures and physicality.
