Nair was convinced of two things for his short film. The story should be entertaining and have a twist and second the actors should find the story excellent and if possible surprising. That’s why he has come up with ‘Hum Botho’, the entire story of which is told from the perspective of Saroj, a 50-year-old woman from Hisar, Haryana.
Nair says, “I wanted to convey this through someone people knew. I thought why not Archana Puran Singh? Everyone knows him for his laughter in The Kapil Sharma Show. Nobody has seen Abhinay and why not cast her as a Haryanvi woman who is completely against her popular image?”
He further says, when I met Archana Puran Singh, I told her that I have a role for her where she will not laugh and neither make-up nor hairstyle, where she will wear rustic clothes. After hearing this she was eager to know the story. He loved the role and immediately agreed to do it. The brilliant manner in which he has acted in the film, it is made on seeing it. He is such an amazing talent!”.
