During the scene where Kasturba passes away, Ben Kingsley had to emote silently. He heard my version of the script very sincerely and asked me five meticulous questions. As he faced the movie camera, he had all the sorrow in his heart which slowly came up to his eyes. Kingsley actually shed a couple of tears, reacting uniquely with his own emotion. It was one of the most intense shots I have ever canned. My objective of showing the human side of Mahatma Gandhi was fulfilled. Till date, it remains a cinematic journey for me.
