There is obsession with the mother figure: 'Aise Hi' director Kislay

"Aise Hi", directed by debutante Kislay, revolves around a widowed woman trapped in the image of 'Mother India' and the filmmaker says
Kislay believes the society wants to keep its mother figure on a "pedestal and keep saluting her till the time she is self-sacrificing and caring for her children and also society."
"This story initially dealt with only the old woman. But then the kind of situations prevailed in my hometown of Allahabad, that started to affect the story. Allahabad's name change to Prayagraj was a late addition. I felt that like the characters, the story should also show the city's journey of its own."

"The commentary comes from your concerns and we wanted the audiences to understand our concerns. Why do people change and what do they do to change. I approach it like that, rather than thinking that 'I have to make a commentary on this issue through the film'. I want to say that I'm living my life and I have a concern as an individual."
"And it was difficult to give other characters their space. So in terms of how to show and how much to show, we had to strike a balance that does justice to each character. We had to choose the moments that had to be there in the film. So that no character feels left out."
