Director Jagan Shakti definitely played it smart having worked as the assistant director in ,’Pa’ .Thereafter worked as associated director in “Akira”.Nonetheless,he worked as the associated director in ‘Holiday “as well.Jagan made himself acquainted to all the actors working in these films. Also struck a close relationship with all them. Surely, Jagan was planning to debut as a full-fledged director in the near future so he left no stone unturned in developing a good rapport with all these actors.
Ask him how he roped in everyone right from Vidya Balan ,Sonakshi Sinha and Akshay Kumar? Who was the most difficult to rope in? Actually, speaking since I assisted director R Balki in film,” Pa” so when I approached Vidya Ji she instantly agreed to be part of the film,’ Mission-Mangal”. Moreover, She found the script vey alluring and without any further delay she immediately agreed to be the part of our Mission.”
Adding further about Sonakshi Sinha he adds,’ having worked with Sonakshi in Akkira” which was director A.R.Murugudoss film she knew me very well. No sooner I approached her, even without knowing about the entire script she agreed to work in Mission Mangal.”
Coming back to your query -who was most difficult to rope in? Well! Taapasee Pannu also agreed to do the film immediately. Having worked in Akshay Kumar in, “Holiday” he too loved the script and agreed to be the part of our mission.”
Adding more,” Being a new director none the stars threw any tantrums. The foremost reason being we had the script in place .Every minute details was mentioned in the script .Also all these actors are the most humble actors .Infact they were at it whole heartedly.’
Fresh young directors are the need of the hour in comparison to the older directors, how far do you garee with it? We could think it the other way round. All well known directors I may say are the source of inspiration to all the fresh and new debutant directors. Simply, because they are considered as,” Path breakers’ .For me Balki sir, Murugodoss sir, Gauri Shinde mam with who I assisted in English Vinglish all of the have insured me a lot.
