Talking about casting them, director shares, `Nawaz has a real innocence about him that he brings to the character, and Sanya has a way of saying things without words, she's a very meticulous and detailed performer. So they fit these parts, I was lucky to find them.`

Celebrated actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui will mark his second association with director Ritesh Batra with Photograph. Divulging further details about the movie, the director further shares, ` The movie is really about the corners of our heart that only others can help us find, and these 2 actors do a wonderful job of revealing and keeping things from us.`

The backdrop of the film is set in Dharavi, Mumbai. Where Nawaz is essaying the character of Photographer and Sanya Malhotra will be seen playing the role of an introverted college girl who tops in her studies, who was last seen in the blockbuster Badhaai Ho.
