Aanand L Rai responds to criticism on ‘Atrangi Re’s cast

Atrangi Re’s director Aanand L Rai recently broke his silence as he responded to questions regarding starring a younger female lead opposite to a much senior male lead in the film.

During his conversation with Mid-Day, Rai said, “Atrangi means funnily weird. If a filmmaker shows patience in making a film, it's his small expectation that people wait and understand the reason behind such a cast.

We have a habit of judging people. I want people to watch the film for two hours, and react to it thereafter."

The Tanu Weds Manu film-maker also expressed, “I am not worried as a filmmaker. I am not here to make formulaic films. If I go wrong, I can be critiqued.”

“People who make cinema learn with every effort. With every success, I learn what's right. With every failure, I learn what went wrong," he added. 

The film promising blockbuster entertainment, will feature Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush on-screen
