Sharvari has that exuberance, and it is a very important part of the character that she plays, which is Jiya”.

These are words of course, but behind this, there is a whole lot of, a series of, and the whole emotional process that he has would be very suited to the way Kino is. And I feel that when you watch the film, you'll understand what I mean”.
