The actor was in conversation with News 18 Showsha wherein he shared that he didn’t have to undergo any audition process as Sanjay Leela Bhansali was impressed with him from their first meeting.
Talking about the look test he gave for his character Wali Mohammad, the Dulha Mil Gaya actor said, “20 minutes into the meeting, Mr Bhansali came along to take a look at me. We had met previously, too. And when he was convinced, he agreed to do a look test. I couldn’t believe my luck. I was just so grateful for the opportunity.”
Soon after the images reached the talented filmmaker, he called Khan to give him the good news. “He said, ‘Congratulations, you’re Wali Mohammad!’ It was exciting and nerve-wracking as I hadn’t been on a set since a long time,” the actor divulged.
The period drama also stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, and others and will be released on OTT on May 1, 2024.
