Bachchan who plays a veteran thespian Harish Mishra in the film, said, "I loved the script and enjoyed doing this movie."
He said that it requires guts to invest in such a movie and congratulated the producer of the film, Arindam Chaudhuri for making this film.
When asked whether it was his best performance till date, the actor said, "I think it would be terrible for an actor to classify his best work. That would be end of his work. Let's not limit ourselves by saying that its my best work".
Producer Arindam Chaudhari was all praise for the director Rituparno Ghosh and the cast of the film.

"I call Ritu Da a magician as he weaves magic with a subject that has to do with relationships. It is a dream project and the character was tailor made for Mr Bachchan," he said.
"It's a story we believed in. It's what we categorise as good cinema," Chaudhari said.
Rituparno Ghosh, known for films like Unishe April, Chokher Bali and Raincoat seemed impressed by the work of his cast in the film. "I need actors who can transform a stimulus into performance and fortunately, I had such actors to do it in this film."
He was completely smitten by the 'Bachchan bug'. "After working with him, it becomes a bad habit as you want to work with him again and again. He does his work with unassuming humility" said Ghosh.
