(*2*)Mohit Suri’s newest launch Saiyaara has struck gold on the field workplace, drawing comparisons to his 2013 hit Aashiqui 2. Whereas a lot has already been stated about Ahaan Panday’s casting in Saiyaara, the director just lately revisited how Aditya Roy Kapur grew to become the face of Aashiqui 2, a movie that modified the course of his profession.
(*2*)In a current chat with Siddharth Kannan, Mohit recalled holding a nationwide expertise hunt to seek out recent faces for Aashiqui 2. However when that didn’t work out, destiny took a unique flip. “Then all of the sudden, one in every of my assistants known as Aditya Roy Kapur. I feel Aditya didn’t even know who I used to be. He had no thought. I feel Ranbir (Kapoor) instructed him, ‘Go meet him, he’s a superb director,’” Mohit stated.
(*2*)Describing their first assembly, the director added, “Aditya confirmed up in shorts, chappals with socks, and a shirt. And whereas I used to be speaking to him, he was spinning round in a revolving chair.”
(*2*)Whereas his staff discovered the behaviour inappropriate, Mohit noticed one thing extra. “All my assistants had been very offended, questioning what sort of behaviour this was. However in my thoughts, I used to be pondering this man has come right here on a motorcycle.
(*2*)If this identical man had arrived in a Vary Rover, he can be my character, Rahul Jaykar. So I consider the very best casting occurs when the digital camera isn’t rolling.” His instincts proved proper, as Aashiqui 2 went on to turn out to be a blockbuster, cementing Aditya’s place within the business.
