"She is hardworking, disciplined and always wants her co-stars to give their best. Even the simplest of her suggestions, be it change of expression of technique of dialogue delivery, could make a scene better than I had thought. Experience has its own value and that cannot be replaced. While shooting for Manto, I applied what she taught me. It was an exhausting schedule, but thanks to Srideviji, I could handle it patiently," he says.

The fanboy used to binge-watch Sridevi's films during his NSD days. "She did commercial films like Chalbaaz and Chandni and at the same time, we'd see her in a Sadma or a Lamhe. Her choice of films inspired me. Watching her face the camera is in itself a great lesson."
