In an exclusive conversation with IMDb India, Neeraj talks about the email that he had received from Martin Scorsese when Mélita Toscan Du Plantier showed him Masaan. Ghaywan says, “That sentence still feels unreal to me. Him watching it for those two hours. Connecting with Devi, Deepal and Shalu. Laughing with them, falling in love with them and even getting emotional for them. I felt a strange, surreal connection that I found with him when I was not there and then to read his mail, this lovely note that he had sent felt like one of those really life-changing experiences as they say!”
