Shabana Azmi, Urmila Matondkar and Diana Hayden at a press conference in New Delhi to promote their new film, Tehzeeb.

Journalist-turned-filmmaker Khalid Mohamed made his directorial debut in 2000 with Fiza, featuring Karisma Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan and Jaya Bachchan. Working with Khalid was a 'cool' experience for Urmila. "Luckily, he did not interview me too often," she chuckles.

"I have always been very friendly with him. I am very fond of him and vice versa. We understand each other. It was nice working in such a wonderful atmosphere," she adds.

Urmila also raves about cinematographer Santosh Sivan's work in the movie. "He has done a mind-blowing job."

Tehzeeb hits the marquee on December 5.
