Anjana Sukhani Calls Co-star Diljit Dosanjh a Sincere and Honest Actor, Shares an Experience from the Sets of Main Vaapas Aaunga: You can see he is very well prepared

Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga is out in the theatres, and it’s making a cinematic statement, just as it’s expected from the celebrated filmmaker. Anjana Sukhani, who plays a pivotal role in the film, recently opened up about working alongside the veteran Naseeruddin Shah and the compelling Diljit Dosanjh, and also recalled memorable moments from the sets.

Watching Naseeruddin Shah perform live left Anjana Sukhani teary-eyed each time. “I was telling Imtiaz Ali that everytime Naseer sir would perform, I would tear up because how do I go back home after seeing the visual. And when you see it in the film, all of it comes together, and it just breaks your heart. I feel like everybody is writing ‘it’s a masterclass’ – it was a live masterclass watching him. It was a live masterclass for the actors on set. It was Naseer sir’s eyes, and I would tear up everytime he would perform,” she shares

Praising Diljit Dosanjh’s preparedness, she continues, “Diljit is very super easy, sincere, honest – he has a lot of sincerity in his eyes when he performs, and you can see that. He is very well prepared. He would know other people’s lines also. I remember once I fumbled, I went quiet, and he was like “Aapki line hai.” So, he was very well prepared that way.”

Produced by Birla Studios, Applause Entertainment and Window Seat Films, Main Vaapas Aaunga explores themes of love, identity and belonging against the backdrop of Partition. The film is out in the theatres and has successfully struck the right chord with the audience.
