“The film deals with a hijack situation that happened during her tenure. Given the dramatic events that were unfolding, she was someone who was extremely centered and not really ready to any dramatics. So it was important to portray her in that form. a great time. There was a lot of homework and research that went behind it. But it was an opportunity of a lifetime that I’m thankful for”
