Finally they agreed on one of the chairs which you will see in the film and I took time to get used to it. They have done a lot of visual effects. I had to wear black socks which had white dots and during shoots the pants were tied into a knot at my knees so I don't move my legs and it looks real. At times there were scenes where I had to lie on the bed and they would make a big hole in the bed so that I could put my legs into it and cover myself with a blanket.”
