In an interview with ETimes, Markand shared, “It was 100 percent a dream come true moment. I have never met someone as kind and as sweet as Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan sir. They have achieved so much in life and yet they are so grounded and wonderful human beings.”
The actor also shared how he landed the role. He disclosed, “It feels incredible! It’s a dream come true! I got a call saying the project’s happening and they wanted me to audition for a primary character in the film. And then a couple of days later I was called for round two where they dressed me up as the character and then I got a call saying ‘the director would like to meet you’ and I went to meet Ayan Mukerji. I was told there and then that I got the part.”
Praising Ayan Mukerji for making the actors feel at ease, Markand expressed, “Ayan is a lovely director to work with, very easy, very comfortable and he knows how to get something out of an actor. It was a great experience. I learnt a lot of things. I think I learnt more in a few months of working with him than I did over a decade.”
The actor responsded to a question whether Brahmastra will live up to the hype since the film has been in production for a long time. He stated, “Good things take time and it is definitely worth the wait. It’s going to be like something you have never seen before in the Hindi film industry.”
