Ever since Kiara Advani and Aditya Seal’s Indoo Ki Jawani’s trailer is out, we are desperately waiting for the movie to release. Through the trailer, it looks like Kiara and Aditya have moulded themselves perfectly into the characters of Indoo and Samar. We recently got a chance to speak with the director of the movie Abir Sengupta about the casting and preparation of the artists, read the scoop to know more.

Abir told us why he thought that Kiara would be perfect to play Indoo. The director said, “When I saw two of her films, Dhoni and Lust Stories, I felt her characters in both films were quite different. Kabir Singh didn’t get released by then. Later, I got to know that she was a South Bombay girl. She has played very interesting characters in Lust stories and Dhoni. She can mould herself into the characters which is great. Kiara becomes the character she plays. If you watch Kabir Singh, you will feel this is Preeti in real. When you watch Dhoni, you will feel she is Sakshi in real.”

Abir added, “She has the talent of blending into the characters and becoming them. Secondly, I felt her personality and physical appearance is very much aspirational and very much relatable. She is a very pretty girl who is like an aspirational figure for a lot of women. At the same, her body language, personality and face are so relatable. So is a complete package to me that I really needed for Indoo Ki Jawani.”
