I can proudly say that I have the honour of directing those eyes: Vishal Furia about Kajol

Toward the end of his note, he opened up about his experience working with Kajol and said the modesty and humility of the star is such that even after 3 decades still seems unaware of her superpowers. He revealed that at first, he was "very nervous" with the responsibility of transitioning Kajol, a "Superstar of romance" to the horror genre. "But from day one, the ease with which she just jumped genres made the job smooth for me. Her eyes portrayed fear, scare, shock and horror with the same believability that she portrays emotions. I can proudly say that I have the honour of directing those eyes that speak volumes but this time spoke volumes of horror," he added.

Soon after he dropped the post, Kajol immediately replied in the comment section, "An honest delight working with you! And the rest on patchwork."
