So. We've started shooting for #GirlOnTheTrain in London. Its my MOST difficult role to date; I feel like I'm in a hostel, with no time (or headspace) for social media or chilling or doing anything else. Its a new experience for me - being cut off from everything and everyone else... Will share the first look soon. This picture was the only `timepass` I've done on set so far 🤣🤣

The book to screen adaptations has always been a hallowed ground with a not so fantastic track record. There's a world of difference between these two mediums, with the film not always capturing the intricacies of vivid textual details of books. 'The Girl on the Train' is a bestseller by Paula Hawkins, which tells us how Rachel (played by Emily Blunt in the Hollywood adaptation), an alcoholic divorcee gets obsessed with the lives of a young couple and later entangled in a missing person's case. While the Emily Blunt starrer collapsed at the Box Office, we surely hope for a better fate for the Bollywood adaptation.
