Qissa actors interact with film students after a special screening

Tisca Chopra, Tillotama Shome, Rasika Duggal, director Anup Singh and editor Param Kamdar hosted a screening of their film Qissa at Whistling Woods International film institute recently. At the end of the film, the team also engaged with the students in an interactive session filled with humorous anecdotes. 

Anup called himself the actual ghost of the film and the source of the title. Tillotama and Rasika recalled how they felt clueless with the uncanny guidelines that baffled them in the beginning. Tillotama also shared her experience of learning mannerisms of a man by watching Dilip Kumar'sAan and Tarana.

Tillotama plays Kanwar Singh, a girl who is raised as a boy by Umber Singh (Irrfan) because he desires a male child after his wife gives birth to three daughters. Complications arise when Kanwar is married to Neeli (Rasika).

The film has been winning laurels and awards on the international film circuit starting with the Toronto International Film Festival, 2013.
