At the age I am in, to come back to the screen, you come with a certain amount of life experience, wisdom, and you know you can you can really contribute to the layers that Sanjay writes into all his characters. His characters are very intricate, very complex. There’s nobody like him who writes characters. He goes across the spectrum and emotions, and he has this intuitive understanding of it.
