Addressing the backlash over the age difference between Sara Ali Khan and her Atrangi Re co-stars Akshay Kumar and Dhanush, Rai said, “Atrangi means funnily weird. If a filmmaker shows patience in making a film, it’s his small expectation that people wait and understand the reason behind such a cast. We have a habit of judging people. I want people to watch the film for two hours, and react to it thereafter.”
He further added, “I am not worried as a filmmaker. I am not here to make formulaic films. If I go wrong, I can be critiqued. People who make cinema learn with every effort. With every success, I learn what’s right. With every failure, I learn what went wrong.”
The trailer of Atrangi Re is winning hearts and is looking absolutely amazing. It shows Dhanush’s character getting forcibly married to Sara’s character. Sara is shown as a feisty, outgoing woman who is already in love with another man, played by Akshay Kumar.
At the trailer launch, Aanand said, “I strongly believe that you don’t find love, it finds you. The only thing you should learn is to be a little patient. Atrangi Re is all about love, patience, and madness. It’s a fabulous roller-coaster of fun and emotions.”
