Recently, Akshay Kumar opened up on how Atrangi Re belongs to Dhanush and Sara Ali Khan. “This film basically belongs to Dhanush and Sara. They are the main leads. I have a special appearance in the movie,” he told PTI, adding, “This film will work only because of Sara and Dhanush. Sara is very professional and she is a director’s actor. I believe this is one of the best roles that she has ever done. Dhanush is a polished actor and a phenomenal artiste. He has done many films and his first Hindi movie ‘Raanjhanaa’ was a landmark movie. In this movie, he has performed really well.”
He also said that initially Aanand L Rai was hesitant to offer him the role in the film. “Rai was earlier confident that I will say no to the movie as it was a small role. But I loved the story. It really is an atrangi (extraordinary) story. I never imagined that someone could tell a love story in this way. So when I said yes to this, Rai was taken aback,” he said.
Atrangi Re will release on December 24 on Disney Plus Hotstar.
