The actress further emphasized that the silence was not in any negative aspect but rather something that contributed positively to the entire filming of the movie.
“Everybody got into their work and was so deeply engrossed. We also got into our work with full passion and dedication that there was hardly any time to talk. But I don’t think that was a bad thing. I think it actually helped. It helped you focus,” she explained.
