Was there tension between Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin | Indian Movie News
Guneet Monga had a great dialog with Karan Johar about the manufacturing features, taking Indian movies to a global degree and a lot more. One of her largest breakthrough movies was The Lunchbox (2013), starring the late Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Nimrat Kaur. During the release of the movie, there had been experiences that there was tension between Irrfan and Nawazuddin. Guneet was requested about this facet.
Guneet Monga didn’t deny the tensions between the 2 proficient actors. However, she said, “Both have their own format of working. I think the tension and love are in the script. And they both embraced it (smiles). It was a joy to see them work. It was one of their best performances. The way Irrfan sir played the khadoos, strict but so endearing man…it definitely (spilled onto the set). Nawaz bhai had to always be the over-pleaser. It was a part of his character.”
She added, “It was a joy to work with both of them. It was magical. I am very grateful that we were able to create this film. Baaki on set aur off set toh (chalte rehta hai)!” She clarified, “It was not something that was significant. It was a part of the process. Both are genius actors. We saw them at play.”
When requested if the tiff between them induced her any tension, Guneet Monga revealed, “Not even once. We have worked so much with Nawaz bhai. We did Haraamkhor (2017) and so many other movies. It was our first film with Irrfan sir. Aur independent film mein aap kitna khafa ho jaaoge? Paise toh hai nahin (laughs).”
Guneet Monga revealed how Karan Johar contributed not just in presenting the movie in India but also in another approach, “He walked out and gave us the film’s tagline – Can you fall in love with somebody you have never met? Then he called me to his office and asked me, ‘What do you need?’. I said, ‘A big release. We have done 100 screen release and we can do that. I want a 500 screen plus release’.”
