When Beyond the Clouds' cast talked about Majid Majidi

In an interaction with Zee Studos, Malavika Mohanan had opened up and said that working with Majid Majidi was a dream come true for her. The production designer and other cast and crew members of the film had revealed that they had learned a lot under his tutelage and he was a great teacher. Ishaan Khatter had also shared that Majidi had a way in which he managed to make the set his own. He completely commanded attention and was a task-master. Goutam Ghose, who played a significant role in the film, had said that Majidi was an incredibly kind director. He had added that his kindness came through when he was working with his actors.

On speaking about how Majid Majidi’s sets were, Malavika Mohanan had revealed that Majid Majidi’s sets were very, very quiet. The discipline was through the roof and there was no idle chatter or waste of time on the set. Actors also always had to be on time. No kind of delay was acceptable. Mohanan had further shared that even when an actor was on set on time, it was not enough, they would have to be out of the makeup van and on their designated positions when it was time for them to be. Ishaan Khatter had added to Malavika Mohanan’s point by saying that being on Majid Majid’s sets was a boon for an actor because of the silence and the discipline that was found. He had said that this was not a thing that could be found on many directors' sets and he truly appreciated it.
