Ask any actor and he'll tell you that working with Anurag Basu is a joyride in itself. In the filmmaker's world, spontaneity trumps studied acts, and rehearsals are traded for raw performances. Abhishek Bachchan, whose second innings is marked by braver choices and mature portrayals, believes it was exactly the kind of creative environment he sought.
Teaming up with Basu for the first time on Ludo, Bachchan says, "I followed his lead. I liked that I didn't have to rattle off pages of dialogues. Dada prefers silences in his scenes, as do I. He doesn't like his actors to be overly prepared; he wants them to react instinctively to the situation he creates. It's a departure from the way we work currently, which involves extensive rehearsals. That way, when you come on the set, the goal is to execute. But Dada likes to create the work on the set, which is refreshing."
