Akshay Kumar Asked Me To Blindly Follow Priyadarshan, Says Meezan Jafri

Actor Meezaan Jafri who made his debut in 2019 with Mangesh Hadawale’s film Malaal is now set to experiment with comedy genre in Hungama 2.

Talking about Priyadarshan in an interview to a tabloid, Meezaan said that comedy is the most difficult genre and Priyadarshan shoots it in a unique way. He said that no one except the director is aware of what is happening on the set. The actors are given the dialogues just moments before the shoot. However, Meezaan Jafri said that the actors are also instructed by Priyadarshan himself on how to act the scenes. The only work they have to do is to follow his cues.

Meezaan said that when he spoke to Akshay Kumar on the sets of Sooryavanshi he advised the young actor to blindly follow Priyadarshan and expect things to turn out great.

The actor even added that he decided to do Hungama 2 the moment he heard that Priyadarshan will be directing it. Meezaan Jafri said that he made the decision even without hearing the script or plotline. Jafri added that he has a “special connect” with the director. Even his grandfather was a part of Priyadarshan’s first Hindi film, Muskurahat.

Hungama 2 will also mark director Priyadarshan’s comeback into Bollywood after almost seven years. In addition to Meezaan Jafri, the film also stars Paresh Rawal, Shilpa Shetty, and Pranitha Subhash. Jafri will also be recreating the chartbuster track Chura Ke Dil Mera with Shilpa Shetty for the film.
