Kangana Ranaut recalls getting ‘shady offers’ as a struggler: ‘What happens to the lakhs of people who come to Mumbai every day?’

The actor added, “This film is a heartfelt ode and love letter to those who come to the city and somewhere lose their dreams but end up finding something much more meaningful. We have come from outside, we have seen these kind of struggles, but somehow, only an achiever’s film makes it to the celluloid… But there are lakhs and lakhs of people who come to Mumbai everyday. Where do these people go? What happens to them?”

Nawazuddin also recalled his struggling days, and revealed how makeup assistants used to blow powder on his face when he was a junior artist. He said, “I remember, I was a junior artist in a film and there were other junior artists as well. Our make-up man made us stand in a line and he brought powder in his hand and blew it on our face one after the other and said ‘make-up is done.’”

Tiku Weds Sheru was launched in 2016 with the original cast, including Irrfan Khan and Kangana. However, Kangana mentioned that her mindset has now changed. She said, “We wanted the Kangana who was still an aspiring actress, who still saw dreams of coming to Mumbai to act in films.” The film will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video from June 23.
