"I remember my dad forcing me to join the stock market": Kookie opens up on getting authenticity in The Big Bull

Director Kookie Gulati, who is currently tasting the massive success of his recently released trailer of his upcoming directorial The Big Bull remembers the time when his father forced him join the stock market right after he finished his college. His film is set at the backdrop of Bombay stock market in the early 90’s.

He shares,

I remember my dad forcing me to join the stock market straight out of school. I actually worked at the stock market from 1990 to 1992. Since I’d seen it first hand it was easy in a way but that meant I wasn’t going to compromise on the authenticity. The entire team pooled in from my DOP to my assistants to the production designer and costume stylists’ to try and bring the 80’s and 90’s alive for the audience. It really was an amazing experience reliving those days and remembering my father through this film.
