Meghna Gulzar is asked at a press conference whether she follows her father Gulzar’s approach to filmmaking, specifically his 1973 film Achanak, which features no songs. The question is posed by a journalist who references the “footsteps” theme and the earlier choice to omit songs.
The outlet frames the exchange as a comparison between Gulzar’s earlier decision and Meghna Gulzar’s current work, titled Daayra. The coverage centers on the question itself and the framing of whether Daayra is taking a similar path. At the same time, the reports present the point as a discussion at the press event rather than as a confirmed description of the film’s final creative format.
Across the two sources, the core angle is consistent: both describe the journalist’s question at the press conference and link it to Gulzar’s 1973 songless film, asking whether Meghna Gulzar is continuing the pattern in Daayra.
