Say I have a film which is on karate...</p><p><strong>Abhinandan: </strong>So they should cast you as a person who is nice, who is a good person. That would be a challenge.</p><p><strong>Rajyasree: </strong>That would be acting, right?</p><p><strong>Abhinandan: </strong>That would be a big challenge. Like if they cast you as a horrible obnoxious woman, then what’s the challenge?</p><p><strong>Rajyasree:</strong> Don't act smart, okay.</p><p><em>Abhinandan, Rajyasree burst out laughing.</em></p><p>This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan and Rajyasree review the films <em>Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui</em>, <em>The Lost Daughter </em>and <em>Minnal Murali.</em></p><p>Write to us at <a href="https://www.newslaundry.com/podcast-letters" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">newslaundry.com/podcast-letters</a>.</p><br><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
