She added, “Obviously, we were not going to let him go but because the humour was just coming out of him being there, tied up or cracking a line. He said, ‘chhodna mat (don’t let him go). Ismein humour aa sakta hain (This can be humourous) and please cast someone who can do this.’ I think that was an important input because obviously we added a lot more Hamza after that. On a macro level, that worked.”

Vijay as Hamza nailed it and how!

Vijay is one of the most versatile actors in Bollywood. He will be next seen in The Devotion of Suspect X with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat. The film will be released on Netflix.

Talking about Shah Rukh Khan, he will be seen in Pathaan with Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The upcoming film is slated to release on 25^th January, 2023. King Khan also has Dunki and Jawan in the pipeline.
