Ananya Panday is making headlines for giving yet another spectacular performance in Khaali Peeli opposite Ishaan Khatter.
In an exclusive interview with DNA, Maqbool Khan shared how Ananya aced her role for the film. He shared, "We had an extensive workshop for 45 days where Ananya attended those workshops every day. We would read the dialogues over and over again and when we finally went to the shoot, Ananya was so into the script and the dialogues. I did a lot of improvisation on set."
He further added, "Having a Bambaiya dialect, it becomes difficult, but Ananya was so into it that I could improvise a lot of stuff on the set itself and she'd just get it right in a couple of days. So that's how Ananya aced the entire Bambaiya dialect."
In an earlier interview with DNA, Maqbool had divulged into details about Ishaan's character in the film and said "he's a very street-smart kind of a character", "a very filmy person who believes in cinema" and stated that the girl's character also comes from a similar background.
When asked about the film's connection with Mumbai and why did the makers want it that way, Maqbool spoke of the diverse backgrounds of people who come to Mumbai to fulfill their dreams and aspirations and revealed that the makers including himself have a deep emotional bond with the city.
On the work front, Ananya will be next seen in Shakun Batra's untitled alongside Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi followed by her PAN India film Fighter alongside Vijay Deverakonda.
