Actress Dia Mirza, who was recently seen in Anubhav Sinha's theatrical pandemic film 'Bheed', has shared her experience with her co-stars.

While she lauded the film's director for his passion and conviction in his stories, she also shared that Rajkummar Rao, who plays a cop in the film, is blessed with a wicked sense of humour.

The actress said: "'Bheed' is my fourth project with Anubhav Sinha and this is possibly the toughest film of his career. Watching him work with so much passion and conviction on stories that must be told, has been truly inspirational. Yet amid all the intensity, all of us found ways to make each other laugh, celebrate special days, savour chaat treats and be there for each other when things got tough."

Dia further mentioned: "Rajkummar Rao for instance has a wicked sense of humour and brings great energy to the sets while Bhumi and I bonded over many common interests. She is a very intelligent and interesting person."

For her, working on this film is an unforgettable experience as she got to jam with many exemplary actors.

"Working with Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Ashutosh Rana and Pankaj Kapur sir was truly an experience I will never forget. I had the most amazing time working and watching everyone at work. The craft of each of these artists is a privilege to witness up close. Pankaj ji and Ashutosh ji are institutions in their own right and Raj and Bhumi are actors I have admired right from their first films," the actress concluded.

While the film 'Bheed' opened to rave reviews, Rajkummar has an exciting line-up that includes 'Sri,' 'Mr and Mrs Mahi' and 'Guns and Gulaabs' among other projects. 

Speaking about Sri he said, "'Sri' is a biopic it's the very inspiring story of Srikanth Bolla who is visually impaired and blind by birth. I had a great time playing him on screen, it was the first time I played a visually impaired person. It's very challenging and tough to make it believable. During the time I was on set to pack up, for those 12 hours I would just be that boy. Those days of shoot were so meditative and creatively satisfying for me."
