A filmmaker is in the midst of a shooting schedule when his mother calls him up and asks, “Did you get a chance to go through the girl’s photo that I had sent some time back.” During the 82-second television commercial (TVC), she plagues him incessantly to tie the knot by citing the example of his friend, resorting to emotional blackmail before finally asking him, whether he likes girls at all. Almost all of us have smiled to ourselves after seeing this TVC, empathised for the poor guy and exclaimed, “All mothers are the same.” But ever wondered who is the actor who plays the befuddled son with ease. It’s acclaimed filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee’s assistant director Navin Kasturiya.
