Neeraj Pandey’s opinion on de-aging Ajay Devgn and Tabu’s characters in Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha
In a recent interview with News18, Neeraj Pandey stated that he has only used de-aging through VFX when the story called for it. In his opinion, the overuse of de-aging has reached the point where it almost verges on technological abuse. The Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha helmer said, “For this particular story, you can’t age Ajay and Tabu’s characters into 21-year-olds. That would look ridiculous!”
Talking about Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar playing Ajay Devgn and Tabu’s younger selves, Neeraj further disclosed that they had been quite clear from the start about using two distinct actor pairings to represent two age groups. According to him, that is what suits the story and makes it beautiful. He added that after the age of 24, people undergo physical changes.
