Prithviraj Sukumaran recently discussed his initial reluctance to join Daayra, attributing his hesitation to a packed schedule and the filming of SS Rajamouli's Varanasi. At the trailer launch in Mumbai on Monday, August 31, Prithviraj, alongside co-star Kareena Kapoor Khan and director Meghna Gulzar, recounted his decision-making process.
He explained that when Meghna first proposed the project, he was already committed to Varanasi, a South Indian film in which he played an antagonist. Additionally, he was filming Malayalam movies during the same period. Despite his initial intention to politely decline Meghna's request for a meeting, he ultimately felt compelled to attend after learning Kareena Kapoor was set to play the lead role.
Prithviraj praised Meghna for being not only one of the nicest people he has worked with but also one of the most demanding filmmakers he has encountered. He highlighted her unique approach of frequently asking "why," which he found to be an invaluable aspect of her filmmaking process. Despite any outcomes on September 18, the actor expressed his pride in Daayra, which he believes addresses a pertinent conversation. The film is scheduled to release on September 18.
