The director said “The Great Indian Kitchen”, starring Nimisha Sajayan as an unnamed wife, viewed the story from a distance, an aspect that she decided to change in her version, which also gives the character a name.”I thought I’ll play with the point of view, about what she is feeling…So, I added a lot of personal (observation) to the scenes…I had seen something similar at my house.Even if my parents fought at night, my mother used to cry and all but she would go and cook in the morning.Women always go back to cooking which I wanted to put in this film.”Making ‘Mrs’, in a way, was very autobiographical for me…Gender politics is complicated. You sometimes lose some battles on purpose because you want to win at a better battle. You know where you have lost those battles. I made this film at the right time because I’m a woman in my 40s. I have experienced all this,” she added.Kadav praised Malhotra for embodying the character in “Mrs” with great empathy, which has translated well on screen.”There’s no false note in her performance. She lived every moment of that character. By the time we reached the end of the film, I could see the emotional toll it was taking on her. It almost made me feel criminal that I was making her go through these emotions. She took this upon herself to tell this story correctly. We made it with responsibility and love,” she said.Kadav started her journey as an assistant director in the movies and made short films “55 km/sec”, “The Astronaut and his Parrot” before her debut with “Cargo”, a movie that was praised for mixing mythology with science fiction.”Till you make a feature film, people think it is just a hobby for you. You don’t earn as you are starting out,” she said.Kadav has already written a story with Sumit Purohit of “Scam 1992″ fame and hopes to make it into a movie.Vikramaditya Motwane’s producer mother Deepa Motwane is backing another sci-fi movie for Kadav.”The environment in which feature films are made that suits me. Because I take my own time to design my shot. I don’t understand the rush of the series. I can’t work that fast, so I enjoy planning and doing things,” she said.
