EKtaa Kapoor's reaction to Love Sex Aur Dhokha and making of sequel
In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Dibakar Banerjee was asked about his working relationship with Ektaa Kapoor and whether they often have creative conflicts. Banerjee replied, 'We have a very nice relationship, and I really like it.' He added that both of them are intense and extremely head strong. 'As for creative conflicts, yes, we do have them, all the time, but we ultimately end up listening to each other. Either she gives in or I do.'
On being asked about Love Sex Dhokha, Dibakar revealed that soon after doing Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Ekta's team approached him, thinking that he would be doing his next project with a big star. However, he narrated the LSD story to them, and they went to Ektaa half scared to tell her. She responded, 'This is it, just call him, let's talk.' He further revealed that it was initially Ektaa's plan to make LSD 2, and she came up with the idea back in 2019-2020.
