N Rahul Dholakia's upcoming Prime Video film Agni, Divyenndu plays a corrupt cop who is always at loggerheads with his firefighter brother-in-law, played by Pratik Gandhi.
The two pass casual taunts at each other on every occasion. In real life, however, the actors get on well and share their experience of working with each other with TMS. This is their second outing together after the hilarious buddy-comedy Madgaon Express, which was released earlier this year. Agni was shot before Madgaon Express.
"It was love, sorry, friendship at first sight," Divyenndu says with a laugh and then adds lightheartedly, "It took me some time to like him but it eventually happened." Pratik responds with a quip: "When you know that the other person is taking so much time to like you, then you have to go all out."
A good vibe Pratik feels that having an off-screen bond helps while performing on-screen.
"Agni is somewhat of a serious film whereas Madgaon Express was more lighthearted. Yet, in both the films, we had to perform sincerely and having that comfort was useful," he says. For Divyenndu, playing a cop in Agni was way easier than his flamboyant high-pitched character in the Kunal Kemmu directorial.
