Neerja director Ram Madhvani tells The Quint that he wants the audiences to laugh, cry and feel fear, like Neerja Bhanot did.

In this chat he talks about Sonam Kapoor being his first and instinctive choice for the character of Neerja Bhanot. The largely positive feedback that the film has been getting indicates that his gut feeling was right. The adman turned film director also talks about what it was like to direct Shabana Azmi and the intensive training and workshops that his cast went through in the making of Neerja.
