In this film, travel as a device brings a bunch of people together. You have hours of nothingness, just driving, and it opens your head up. A road trip gives you a lot of space to think. In Zindagi, they step out of their routines to go on a road trip. Your characters seem to discover themselves only after they step out of their familiar universe. So I will call up a friend and she tells me her experience and I say it’s funny, can I use that? That is why it resonates. When you are fictionalising, you come to a situation where a girl wants to leave her husband (as it happens with Priyanka’s character here) and she wants to have a family chat – I find it surreal. How about Dil Dhadakne Do’s dysfunctional family? It is always a mix of fiction and fact and observation. You say that all your films have been drawn from personal experiences. In this interview Akhtar chats with Scroll.in about handling criticism, her love for travel and the importance of catering to the filmmaking process.

Yet, the director of the features Luck By Chance (2009) and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) and one of the four shorts in the Bombay Talkies anthology (2013) would have us believe that her latest project was smooth sailing. Dil Dhadakne Do opens on June 5 and appears to be Akhtar’s most complicated production yet, featuring a large cast (including Anil Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma and Farhan Akhtar), and several international locations.
