“It’s always interesting to talk to people of different countries and background. It gives you great perspective. This, in fact, is my first time to Australia and to get a chance to interact with film lovers and film students on a topic about crossing over is exciting and there’s so much to speak about. I remember during the promotions and post-release of Victoria And Abdul. I spoke to people such varied background, everyone had such interesting ideas about cinema and it’s role. So I’m looking forward to doing this talk and discussion alongside someone talented like Freida.”
