‘Took risk by entering digital format’

Esha Deol Takhtani, who is making her comeback with the short film Cakewalk directed by Ram Kamal Mukherjee, says that being a feature film actress, it was a risk for her to try her hand at a new format of entertainment. Mukherjee, who has been a journalist and author, is a debutant filmmaker.

Asked what made Esha work with a new director, the Dhoom actress said, “Firstly, I knew him before because he is a journalist. When he narrated the story to me, though he wasn’t ready for film direction, I was impressed by his conviction towards the character that he had written.  I took a risk of entering the digital entertainment format so, I wanted someone who is equally interested to prove his best” she added. —IANS
