Actors sharing ideas with directors during the shooting is a pretty common practice. But it looks like Chitrangada Singh doesn't mind asking for an extra favour from her director Sudhir Mishra. Apparently, the actress was hoping for something tweaked in the storyline even after the shoot schedule had been wrapped up.
A well-placed source says, `Chitrangada has asked Sudhir to add few more sequences in this drama about gender politics and sexual harassment. Although the actress is very happy with the way the film has turned out, she thinks it can be made better with a few tweaks. She also suggested the filmmaker to add a masala song.`
Sources indicate that the filmmaker might take into consideration the ideas suggested.
According to a well-placed source, `Chitrangada is extremely happy about the way the film has shaped up. Now that the release has been pushed to mid-January, she requested Sudhir to add some layers to the film.`
