Excerpt from conversation:

Tell me about the film. I saw the trailer. Can you tell us about your roles, and how was the experience working on it?
Mihir: It was working on Hindi Windy. My character, Kabir, is quite different from who I am. Kabir has a mixed accent, especially not Australians but bend towards it. He is a musician – he sings and plays the guitar. The film was shot in Sydney and wandered around a grandmother and grandson, with a integrated force in his family despite the musical language obstacles.

Nina: It was really interesting. I play the role of Mihir’s grandmother, who does not know much English – only a few words here and there. The film explains how music helps us communicate, and finally, Mihir’s character decided that he should learn Hindi rather than pushing me (grandmother, to learn English) instead of pushing me. It is a beautiful emotional film, and I enjoyed working with Gai, who plays Mihir’s father, and creates this emotional bond through music. And, the film is very emotional.

Mihir, how challenging it was for you to speak intentionally wrong Hindi for the film?
Mihir: It was not difficult. My main purpose was to avoid giving sound to sound. In such films, many times you look artificial while trying to portray broken Hindi, so I worked hard to keep it real. I reached Sydney five days before the shooting, and by the time I want I could come first, I took time and recorded how Indians living in Australia spoke Hindi. I tried to mimic his pronunciation and it really helped me.

How was it working with established stars like Mihir, Neena Gupta and Gai Sebastian? Was it challenging to catch your own?
Mihir: It was not just a challenge, it was a great learning experience. First, I was a little nervous, especially with veterans like Nina ji and Gai, but they felt me ​​easily. Both of them were so down-to-meaning and humble that I did not feel that I was meeting him for the first time. He was very helpful, and I learned a lot from him on the set.

Nina ji, you have a great career for decades. What would you advise to young actors like Mihir?
Nina: I think I need advice from him. They are full of so -in -law. When I started, we were very afraid of asking the directors questions. We were working with the choice of Shyam Benegal and others. I have worked with a lot of youth, and they are not afraid to talk and argue with the directors, which I really like. Earlier, people used to come from different backgrounds to work in films and were seen below. Now, Hindi films are not seen below. Today, even if you want to make a career, people from good families are sending their parents here. I would really like advice from them because they are very hardworking. I have a lot to learn from them.

Mihir, what do you expect will take the audience away from your performance in Hindi Vinidi?
Mihir: I hope that the feelings we have expressed through the film will reach the audience. It is a hearty, emotional rollercaster. When I saw the last cut, I really moved, and I hope the audience feels the same way. This is not just because I am in it – this is a beautiful story.
