The entire cast of the award winning film Thithi, comprises locals of a Karnataka village. Asked how he got such incredible performances from them, the film’s director R. Reddy explained there are two approaches to dealing with non-actors:
1. Don't tell your cast anything and create a work of art that only you know.
2. Tell them everything they need to know and understand to own and deliver a performance from their ‘within’ rather than your ‘within’.

When the leader shares ‘his story’ with his people, it becomes ‘their story’, which becomes the canvas for together painting the larger ‘our story’.
