It may come as a surprise to many but Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor were barred from meeting each other in real life before filming began. It was because they are such close friends in real life but the film wanted them to build hatred against each other.

Owing to the same, Dibakar Banerjee came up with the rule to bar the actors from socializing with each other. Asked about the duo’s first reaction to seeing each other on sets after all of this, the director shared, “Parineeti was scared when she saw him, but Arjun, he didn’t care.”

Things are finally moving towards normalcy with Bollywood films finally finding their way back to theatres. Does that also scare Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar director about the footfalls in the theatres?

Dibakar Banerjee answered, “Of course there is a fear but we always had decided and were precisive about the fact that SAPF will have a theatrical release.”
