Thank you soooooooo much Mohan Sir @mohanakrishnaindraganti for Sameera, for the endless laughter, for your effortless and impeccable planning.

It didn’t take a walkout on a picket line or a fiery press conference to shake the Indian film industry; it took Deepika Padukone quietly demanding, “Eight hours.” No dramatic monologue or sensational tweets.
