How was working with first-time director Paritosh Painter?

For a first-time director, Pari has done a great job. As he is from a theatre background, he's a very good actor as well. And when an actor directs a film, he directs it better because he knows exactly what he wants from his actors.

He handled so many actors together at one time on the sets, which is exceptional. Everybody has their own needs and demands and tantrums and moods, but Pari was brilliant. He is a very calm person. It was fun working with him.

How will Paying Guest be different from all the comedies lined up?

Even though this is a comedy film, it is very realistic. It deals with a problem that we face. All those who have stayed in paying guest accommodations will know what difficulty we have had to face. Staying as a paying guest can be blessing as well as torture. This film has a funny point of view of the reality in people's lives.
