Why did you edit those lines?
Because I didn’t want to deviate from the plot of Child Abuse, and I think that would have also loosened Arjun’s contribution in the climax. You know what I mean, since you have seen the film. In short, if those lines had not been edited, the audiences might not have not got involved in Vidya’s journey in the film.
I know what you mean. And I agree that Vidya has thrown herself into the role. But people who are so ‘into’ their character tend to have strong opinions.
Was there a point during the making when Vidya and you were in disagreement?
Vidya wanted to take it to an extreme level on one occasion. She wanted the stitches (she gets badly injured in one scene) to show on a bald scalp. So she said she’ll get a portion of her head shaved. I put my foot down.
Was it easy for her to do that scene, where she touches portions close to her private parts, while talking to the kid?
Not really. When she read the scene wondered how she’ll do it in front of a kid— but she eventually got it beautifully.
