Although Kapadia did not tell much about her new ventures, she said that she will continue to tell the stories of women through her work.
Payal said, “I am always interested in Mumbai, there is a very accepted place for the people of our country to live and work – especially from a woman’s point of view, because it is not always easy for a woman to be alone in many parts of our country.”
He said, “Many of the asked questions will be asked and it will feel that stigma. But in some cities – such as Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai – these things are possible and accepted. So the next film is going to be simple stories about women again – especially those working women from other parts of the country – and difficulties and difficulties and joys.”

“I am very stubborn, so we will see. I prefer to be true for the origin of a film than giving concessions for some external forces. I will try my best to stick to it. This is such a long process to make such films, so I think every time I am going to learn something – and I am trying to be completely open.
