Yami: All the directors that I have worked with, Shoojit Sarkar, Sriram Raghavan, or Ram Gopal Verma have very different approach to filmmaking. I remember Shoojit used to do a lot of workshops and rehearsals. But Ram Gopal was very different from all. I was expecting a lot of preparation for this role - some reading and physical transformation or watching some movies. I was shooting for Kaabil when I got this offer. I had prepped a lot for Kaabil - physically, mentally and emotionally, a lot had gone into the role and I used be drained at times. Ram Gopal said that he doesn’t want me to prep at all. He said that I should leave everything to him and come on the set. I realised eventually that there was a reason for it as my character Anu comes with a certain mystery hence he did not want me to over prepare for the role. A lot of mental preparation went into it on how we can have our eyes speak for itself.
“Like any other fans, I prepared my list of favourite Amitabh Bachchan movies. In my mind, I was like, ‘I am going to say this and that,’ but the moment he greeted me, I was just smiling and I am sure that I looked really silly. I think that’s because of his aura. I am glad that he is not listening to this conversation because I have spoken about him on camera sitting next to him and he said, “No, that’s a lie.” He has been in the industry for over 40 years and he still has the same fire and passion in his heart for this profession and his work. The love that he has for his work and everybody around him is amazing. It doesn’t happen with everybody. He keeps reinventing himself and surprises everybody. There’s no end to his talent.”
“The situation, character and plots are different but that one man, Subhash Nagre, remains the same. He has the same ideals, principles and the power. The main challenge was that both his sons have died in the previous part and what impact that has had on his life. He has changed his home now. For Sarkar series fans and also the new generation who has not watched the movie, they will find absolute freshness in all the characters. There is no connection with the other previous characters at all.”
