because

world
is
created.
I
had
no

to
live
a

who
is
living
in
that
era,
was
very
interesting," said

did
very
interesting
preparation
before
playing
the
character.
I
stopped
watching
television
and
using
mobile,"

Chef

a
very
calm
performance," he

film
is
releasing
after
a
very
long
time,
it's
been
19
months
when
my
last
film
was
released.
It's
been
a
long
wait.
I
have
seen
