Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra will be seen hating each other as sworn enemies in Dibakar Banerjee’s ‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar’. It seems that the two actors have to hate each other on screen, otherwise they are good friends. The director of the film had to take drastic steps to achieve this in the film.
In an interview, Dibakar Banerjee revealed how he made both the actors hate each other, he said, “No one looks pretty when your life is being choked out of you. No one looks their best when being slapped in the backseat of a car in the middle of nowhere in the dead of the night as a huge threatening stranger asks you questions you don’t know the answers to. There are many in India who know how this feels. But not Parineeti and Arjun.”
He further added, “I had to figure a way of making them angry, bewildered and scared and alien to each other which is why I had to bar them from meeting each other socially till they met for the first time on the sets in character.”
The filmmaker says, Arjun was so much into the character that he scared Parineeti, “I think Parineeti was genuinely scared as Arjun changed from the submissive driver to an aggressive and scared policeman losing his shit and brandishing a gun and getting into the backseat, bellowing questions at her while slapping her. I could see it in her eyes in the close-ups. I think our small workshop trick paid off well.”
