Naseeruddin Shah: My sons wake me to see bad films!

Naseeruddin Shah, a celebrated figure in cinema, shared candidly at the trailer launch of 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' that his sons sometimes rouse him from sleep to point out his subpar performances in past films. He humorously recounted these moments, drawing laughter from the audience.

Shah elaborated on his perspective, asserting that the success of any actor is fundamentally tied to the writer and director. He stressed that without compelling writing, even the most talented actor cannot elevate a film. He also extended his praise to director Imtiaz Ali, commending his artistic vision and meticulous approach with actors.

Director Imtiaz Ali recollected his first meeting with Shah, noting that despite expectations of seriousness, Shah's primary concern was the quality of tea offered. Ali expressed fascination with Shah's portrayal of a Sikh gentleman in the film, noting the positive reception from early viewers. The film 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' features Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari, and its trailer depicts a poignant Partition-era love story.
