Asked about the subject that her next, Dream Girl, would dabble in, Nushrat Bharucha indulges us in a play of words. She's eager to know what we believe could be the film's subject, and pat comes our response - the story of a desi drag queen.

Bharucha is amused. We manage to tickle her funny bone, just not enough for her to crack. "There's absolutely nothing that I can tell you about the film," she says simply, quick to add, "All I can say is that it is exhausting, but worth it all."
