Veteran actor Pankaj Kapur has joined forces with National Award-winning director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury for Lost. The collaboration has got cinephiles excited and there's a lot of anticipation for the movie.

On his experience of working with Chowdhury, Kapur said, "I come from the school of acting where homework for a character or a scene is the key to command the floor. Working with Aniruddha was refreshing because he likes to play with the spontaneity of an actor."
