It's the little moments that you create with your co-actors through gestures, movement, silence and pauses that go a long way in establishing your character," says Danish Husain as he recalls one such moment in the film Newton (2017) with Pankaj Tripathi, where the inherent hierarchy of Indian bureaucracy is slipped into a scene where seeing the DIG of police whip out his aviator sunglasses, the subordinate quietly puts his own pair down. And it is in these little moments that Tripathi and Husain create throughout this Lunchbox session, that their love for acting, Urdu and food, and their admiration for each other come through.
