As published in Republic, Triptii Dimri in an old interview revealed that Imtiaz Ali directed the actors’ movements for Laila Majnu’s song ‘Sarphiri’. “I was required to just walk from point A to point B for one shot in the song. I remember Imtiaz sir telling me, ‘just remember the mood’ and I gave my thumbs up as an affirmative,” Triptii said. “Now I have grown up watching Madhuri Dixit and Kajol. So in that brief walking moment, I gave all the expressions I could think of,” She added. Triptii also revealed that Imtiaz Ali came up to her after the shot ended and said, “You did Laila right? Now let’s do Triptii.”
