Quotes
Jaideep Ahlawat
Actor discussing his reunion with Ajay Devgn and his professional growth
“When I did Aakrosh, I was entering the industry, and, honestly, I was still learning how to occupy space on a film set. Today, I come to the same actor with a completely different understanding of my own craft. So to be opposite Ajay sir now, in a film where our characters are essentially testing each other, has a different meaning.”

“What has remained remarkably consistent with Ajay sir is his economy. He doesn't seem interested in showing the audience that he is acting. He trusts the scene. He trusts the character. And he trusts the audience enough to let them discover what's happening rather than explaining everything to them.”
