00:00Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film,
00:05has spoken up on the film's casting process and said that the film's lead actress,
00:12Sharwari, comes with a lot of exuberance. The filmmakers spoke during the promotion of the
00:18film along with Vedang Rehna and Sharwari. Talking about the film casting, Imtiaz said,
00:24When I met each one of them individually, I felt that casting then would be a big favour
00:32to the film because they will bring in a natural exuberance and an interest to the characters.
00:38In terms of Sharwari, I will not give her a chance in her face, but I feel that there was
00:49an exuberance,
00:50which is a very important part of the character that she plays, which is Jiya. And that exuberance is
00:56something natural to her and therefore it becomes natural to Jiya. So that's something that Jiya
01:03borrows from her. As far as Vedang is concerned, there is a certain earnestness that I felt would
01:12be very good for Kinu. These are words of course, but there is a whole lot of a series of
01:21and the
01:22whole emotional process that he has would be very suited to the way Kinu is. And I feel that when
01:29you watch the film, you will understand what I mean. So the casting is mostly with the grain,
01:33not against the grain, if I may say so. Yes, it is of course. And yeah, sometimes it is unexpected
01:39to even the person who is casting it. Of course, there are new things that you discover about the
01:43actor every day. But the basic thing was in the grain. In fact, sometimes you discover your film
01:50through the casting ones. You discover your film when the actor is performing it as well.
01:55The film also stars Diljiz Dasanj and Nasiruddin Shah and it will be released in cinema on June 12,
02:022026. Talking about his professional front, Imtiaz Ali is best known for acclaimed Hindi films like
02:08Javi Met, Love Aaj Kal, Rockstar, Highway and Tamasha. His most recent major work is Amar Singh Chamkeela in 2024.
