Addressing
the
audience
present
at
the
festival,
Vikrant
Massey
spoke
at
length
about
the
film
and
about
playing
Prem
Singh.
He
said,

“Talking
about
the
preparation
without
giving
away
much,
this
was
one
of
the
few
films
that
pushed
me
against
the
wall,
it
was
very
challenging.
Although
I
did
not
have
to
transform
physically
but
mentally
and
emotionally
this
film
really
pushed
me
against
the
wall.”

Talking
about
the
narrative
and
the
need
to
tell
stories
like
Sector
36
he
said,

“There
is
far
more
realism
in
films
since
the
last
10
years.
Society
represents
cinema
and
vice
versa.
Today
because
of
major
platforms,
giants
like
Netflix,
when
we
talk
about
Indian
cinema
which
also
comprises
so
many
other
regional
cinema
coming
together,
we
are
not
just
making
films
that
are
community
specific
but
which
are
universal
in
nature.” Talking
about
Sector
36
he
said,
“I
feel
as
storytellers,
someone
needs
to
tell
these
stories,
if
not
me.
The
idea
is
to
have
these
stories
be
told.”
