i think they have given the film that quality that people are responding to- of spontaneous acting, of real presence of real people. They were extraordinary- if I think of all of them- the many children who are so wonderful in the school sequences, the many others- Paruli Devi as Haruldi..
these were people who might not have acted before, but they really brought their goodwill, their patience and their desire to help, to the film- and that really helped to make this film what it is today
what extra effort did you have to make to exploit the acting out of people who were facing camera for the first time?
are you really happy with the work done by the artistes of local descent?
