He has handed over the script to me at least three months before the schedule. Besides, he tries his best to make the working environment as friendly as it could be. So, I feel that I’m lucky to have worked with him. He is a product of Jahnu Barua-school of filmmaking which is pure discipline. Manjul Baruah has assisted Jahnu Barua in a number of films. Apart from that, the unit was very close to each other. I have also worked in another Assamese film ‘Beautiful Lives’. I have also worked in a short film ‘Liyakat’, directed by Manjul Baruah.”

How I managed those rupees is another story altogether, but from next month they let me join them for free as I was a very eager and hard-working kid,” said the actor.
