Siddharth on Deepika, Hrithik
Discussing the lead actors, Siddharth Anand previously addressed the challenge of persuading them to showcase their abs in the film. According to a statement given to news agency ANI, he mentioned, “It’s no easy feat to convince them, to begin with. It all boils down to their self-assurance. They exude confidence in their appearance and their attractiveness speaks for itself. Just take a look at them… As I’ve mentioned in other interviews, their stunning appearance speaks volumes. Honestly, there’s little I need to do. Just capture them at 48 frames, set them in motion, and accompany it with good music.”
