‘Remember Every Moment’: Nandita Das Watches Fire Again With Deepa Mehta

When Deepa Mehta’s Fire was released, it sparked controversy, with activists staging multiple protests. The film ignited widespread public debate on topics such as homosexuality and freedom of speech. It’s the first instalment of Deepa’s Elements trilogy, which starred Shabana Azmi and Nandita Das in lead roles.

Now after almost 25 years, Nandita Das revisited the critically acclaimed film and that too with the director. She thanked her for having cast her in the film without even auditioning her.
