Acclaimed filmmaker Imtiaz Ali recently revealed the thought process behind casting veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah as a 95-year-old Sikh in his upcoming film Main Vaapas Aaunga.
Speaking on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, he said, "I spoke to Naseer because it is a finely calibrated role."
"A 95-year-old Sikh going through the most intense experience of his life. That role led to Naseeruddin Shah, who I don't remember ever playing a turbaned Sikh... I wanted it to feel fresh."
