Jimmy Shergill And Shravan Tiwari Share Aazam's Biggest USP

In an exclusive Pinkvilla interview with Himesh Mankad, when Jimmy Shergill and Shravan Tiwari were asked about the USP of the film Aazam, this is what they said. Director Shravan Tiwari said, "The story's circulation, back to the same point again and again, that is what we can call unique about the film." Jimmy said, "I think the screenplay and the treatment. That is what makes it different from other films. The moment you are racing against time, is when you get glued to your seat. From the trailer, you might feel that there is violence and all. In reality, when you go inside the film, you'll say that there is so less violence. There are certain films that are cinematic, which have lovely dialogues, which are realistic, yet cinematic - dialogues, characters and the treatment. You will only notice these things when you watch it for the second time. First time, this is not going to let you blink. First time, you are just following the story. The pace is so fast and the interval gives a different high and even the scenes showing you that something has happened, are very interesting."
