What Udaybir said
During the chat, when Udaybir was asked about the time he met Ranveer on set and the equation formed with him, the actor said, “He is such a warm person, makes you feel really comfortable that after a point, one feels that yes, we can do this scene. It becomes a cakewalk. He also gives a lot of feedbacks which worked a lot for me. As a co-actor, he is very secure, which usually actors aren’t. They think, oh, the other actor is overpowering and showing better… But he is such a sweet soul, such a good actor. I think it is the best quality for an actor, that he is secure of his art.”
He continued, “Both Aditya Dhar, sir and Ranveer gave me so much space during the scenes. Most of my dialogues were improvised, almost 30-40%. Ranveer used to tell me to do another take, and it was never like we had to hurry. He was so invested in it and never left the set. He was in no hurry. He used to say his dialogues with so much intensity, even when the camera was on me. That was so helpful for me.”
