Ishita Dutta admits she’s still nervous around Ajay Devgn and Tabu — even after sharing screen time with them in Drishyam: The Conclusion. The actress, who plays Devgn’s daughter in the franchise, told the Free Press Journal she hasn’t shaken off the intimidation that comes with working alongside two legends. 'I still feel intimidated,' she said. 'I need to get out of it, that thing that I have to make sure I give my best because I don’t want them to be giving retakes because of me.' The first few days on set? Still a blur of pressure. Then, slowly, she finds her rhythm. 'After two or three days, I get into my comfort zone.' But the awe remains. 'They are such legends. One look and they express everything.' She calls it a privilege to witness their process, and learn from it. Devgn, she says, doesn’t just act. He makes space. 'A great actor knows a film works only if everyone does well,' she noted. 'It can’t be about one performance.' That mindset. Rare, she insists, is what keeps the set balanced. No ego. Just craft. And for someone like Dutta, still growing, it’s invaluable. The film’s success? A shared win. Her role? A quiet anchor in a storm of star power. But the real story isn’t just on screen. It’s in the way she talks about it. Not as a fan, but as a student. And that’s where the magic lies.
