_Kill_<\/a>, of course, we were playing our characters. He was playing Mani and I was playing Amrit. We both were poles apart. But, off-screen, we were having as much fun as two boys from up north can have. So we did everything possible in our capacity and exactly what we translated in the show as well. And every time I work with this guy who\u2019s an amazing actor, a crazy human being, very good human being and has a lot of heart. So working with him is always a pleasure, and, it doesn\u2019t feel like work when you work with, Raghav. Similarly, same, experience I had on Kill. So, Very glad that, he played that part of my best friend in the show, and there\u2019s nobody else who could have done what he has done on the show, honestly.<\/p>\nOn Kill\u2019s box office business and the conflict between theatrical and digital release?<\/p>\n
I think that there\u2019s no conflict as such. I have been to theaters, and I\u2019ve seen Kill. I could see a lot of people sitting in a group, a lot of boys and men sitting and whistling and clapping on the scene. It it didn\u2019t open that big. It opened to some Rs 1.3-1.4 crore and, eventually, it became a word-of-mouth thing, and, like, people were growing onto it. Of course, it\u2019s not your Rs 100 crore or Rs 200 crore film. But, we garnered a lot of appreciation. We got a lot of love for it. And, being a newcomer, being like also was making a comeback after a long time. For us, that meant much more than a film that would do 100 crore. So that love, that appreciation, that acceptance, that validation that we were getting, that was more than, you know, a box office could offer at that point of time.<\/p>\n
And, of course, digitally, probably because it is a very different kind of film. It was not the commercial cinema that you see. So, I think, digitally, probably because people, you know, found it more convenient to watch it at homes, and also, the film was R-rated. So it had a lot of limitations around it. But, I think, yeah, I mean, we did the best we could do with it.<\/p>\n
Since there are cameos of some of the biggest Bollywood stars, were you intimidated by their presence?<\/p>\n
I never felt that they are the stars. I always felt I\u2019m the star and they are in my world, probably because of the character I was playing. I was playing Asman, and I thought, Oh! They\u2019re in my world. I\u2019m not in their world. So I feel it like that.<\/p>\n
