"It was amazing to meet her finally but also, I was hyper-aware of how emotional this experience must be for her, the trauma of being stuck out at sea. She's such a profound, strong individual who truly seemed to embrace this film. My prayer is that she has found healing as well through this experience", Woodley recalls.
"To have her around and her embrace of the movie was humbling", Baltasar Kormákur adds. "It was a delicate emotional balance on so many levels – we're not making a documentary, we're making a film, but we're all human beings. We tried to strike the right balance and everyone, cast and crew, felt that she deserved our best effort. She is a wonderful person and we were honoured that she wanted to be a part of it. I really hope she will be pleased."
Watch the romantic drama thriller, Adrift which is slated to release on 1st of June 2018 in cinemas across India.
