I hate to go completely blank and at the end of the day, Sanjay is a person who used to like his artists to be well prepared, but now he likes magic and he also changes things last minute. I do a lot of preparation in my mind like the kind of person Mallika Jaan is, her emotional condition and her backstory and also understanding the layers of her character.”
