“Those slaps and confrontations were discussed in detail.”
Anil Kapoor also spoke about the controversial father-son confrontation scenes in the film, including aggressive grabbing and slapping moments.He revealed that many of those scenes were largely improvised during discussions between him, Ranbir Kapoor and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga.“Actors often say: Don’t hit too hard, just one slap.” But here the thought process was different.
“We discussed how angry the father could realistically be in this situation,” he explained.According to the actor, the emotional power of the scenes came from those conversations and improvisations during rehearsals.“Ranbir, the director and I would sit together and discuss all the dynamics. The credit goes to the director for getting the best out of those discussions,” he said.
“The collar grab was definitely real.”
When asked if the physical encounters in the film were real, Anil admitted that some parts were real, though exaggerated for their cinematic effect.He added: “In films, there is always some exaggeration of drama. A slap or two may happen in reality, but cinema makes it more dramatic.”But he explained that some physical moments, especially aggressive strikes during confrontations, were realistic.“But yes, the collar grabbing was definitely real,” he added.
