Kareena Kapoor Feels Like Newcomer Working With Meghna Gulzar
Daayra is a new movie directed by Meghna Gulzar.
Kareena Kapoor is one of its main actors.
She said Meghna was kind but also very strict and organized on set.
This made Kareena feel like she was a beginner again.
Kareena plays a character named Ajooni, who strongly believes in doing what is right.
She had to use fewer facial expressions than usual for the role.
Prithviraj Sukumaran plays Raman and looked more muscular than Meghna originally wanted.
The movie is meant to make people think about society and the systems around them.
Kareena Kapoor said Meghna Gulzar’s disciplined but warm direction made her feel like a newcomer.
Daayra is Kareena’s 68th film, with the article describing her career as both 25 and 26 years long.
Kareena plays the fiercely righteous Ajooni, while Prithviraj Sukumaran portrays the righteously fierce Raman.
Kareena said she toned down her expressive acting style and followed Gulzar’s specific costume and performance choices.
Daayra, produced by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios, is scheduled for theatrical release on September 18.

Quotes
Kareena Kapoor
Actress and lead performer in Daayra
“She knows how to keep everyone under control. She’s loving, kind, but still, on the sets, she has command. I’ve worked with several directors in my 26-year career but with Meghna I was always like, ‘I’ve to be always in check’.”

“For the first costume trial I told him, ‘I don’t want that typical buffed up policeman with the biceps,’ and he said, ‘Yes, fine.’”
