"It's a new chapter in my career. I've never made a more emotional film. Lots of people think I shy away from showing emotions.

Nishabd will do away with that belief. Actually, I shy away from over-blown emotions. I can't show my characters bawling," Varma told IANS in an interview.

Varma describes

Nishabd, which stars Amitabh Bachchan and newcomer Jiah Khan and which has opened to a mixed response, as a clean film.
