DID RECONNECTING WITH RAJKUMAR HIRANI IN DUNKI FEEL LIKE A HOMECOMING?
He and I have very similar senses of humour. People believe that all forms of improvisation occur spontaneously. Yes, it can happen on the spur of the moment, but only if you are well prepared. If you are not prepared and something unexpected occurs, it may not be appropriate for the film or scene. We began our careers together in the film industry, and the conversations I had with him prior to any film were invaluable. Whether it’s 3 Idiots, Lage Raho, or even the character of an old man in Sanju, it’s pretty priceless in his eyes, and writing a script takes a long time. I like how he puts his entire being into the film.
YOU’RE SO LOVED IN HIRANI’S MUNNABHAI SERIES. LOOKING BACK, DO YOU RECALL HOW PEOPLE REACTED TO IT INITIALLY?
