Essayed by my dream cast of Kareena, Jaideep and Vijay, all in roles so different from what they have been seen in before.”
Kareena, who is making her streaming debut, said she is excited as she’ll be seen in a gritty role in a thriller for the first time. “Jaane Jaan was a script that I had to say yes to the first time I heard of it. I have always told Sujoy the USP of this film is its cast and I had a superb time working with Jaideep and Vijay.”
Jaideep said that the role gave him a fresh look and offered him an opportunity to do something new. “Working with Sujoy was a dream come true, his directive lens helped me put my best foot forward. Sharing the screen space with Kareena Kapoor Khan, was truly amazing as she is a gem of a person. And of course, my good friend Vijay Varma, always a pleasure working with him! Our friendship goes way back since we were together in FTII as well,” he said.
An excited Vijay Varma said, “ I am playing a witty, charming and sharp police officer, a refreshing break from the baddies I’ve played before. The film is directed by an auteur known for thrillers; my co-actors are Kareena Kapoor Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat; and we got to shoot this in Kalimpong. Who will say no to this?”
