1) Dr Lakshmi Devy, you are a Doctor and Director, How much did your educational background help you in creating realistic films?
Honestly it genuinely makes a difference. The environment that I was surrounded by was so real and raw that it allowed me to tap into the nuances of human emotions when I write characters. It influences my story plots too. One of the best places to witness human stories and waves of emotions and complexities are in a hospital.
2) “Rape Kills the Honor of a Man not a Woman” is a rebellious idea that you have taken up in your film – “When the Music changes”. Could you elaborate on it?
