Karan Johar talks about Sidharth Malhotra's Yodha
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Karan Johar was asked about that one experience that stood out for him in the making of Yodha. In response to this, the ace filmmaker and producer revealed that it was not an easy film to make.
He stated, “Oh my God! Yodha was a tough film. When you see the film, and you’ll see the trailer, you will know it was not an easy film because while it has a lot of scale in many parts of the film, there is one chunk of it in which we had to build the entire set of a plane and the action crew was from South Africa and there were multiple cameras and multiple rehearsals. So, there was a lot of prep work done to get it right.”
He further continues, “Kudos to…they are first-time directors, Sagar and Pushkar, to them, to producer Shashank Khaitan who is producing the film with us, and to Sidharth Malhotra. The work he put in.”
The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director further remarked, “I think there are really two films which have challenged him (Sidharth Malhotra) physically and emotionally; Shershaah and Yodha. He is delivered in both, and I think all Sidharth Malhotra fans will be very proud of the work he has done in Yodha.”
