Question 1

Which actor went to extreme lengths to achieve an authentic village look without makeup?

Accepted Answer

Vikrant Massey spent weeks in a village sunbathing in a vest to tan his skin, which actually got burnt. The burnt skin is visible in some scenes and wasn't corrected in post-production.

Question 2

How did the filmmakers handle the UPSC building scenes when they couldn't shoot at the real location?

Accepted Answer

They reconstructed an exact replica of the UPSC building in New Delhi from reference images. Even actual building workers couldn't tell it was a reconstruction when they saw the film.

Question 3

What surprising detail about the Dilli Haat song scene made editors adjust the audio?

Accepted Answer

Medha Shankr sang the song live on location, but initial screenings made it sound too perfect. Sound editors deliberately messed up the levels to make it sound more raw and real.

Question 4

Why did VVC end up directing this film instead of Rajkumar Hirani?

Accepted Answer

While writing with new writers, VVC became so attached to the characters that he leaned toward directing it himself. Seeing Vikrant Massey's test confirmed his determination to direct.

Question 5

What was unique about the casting process for the character Manoj compared to other chief characters?

Accepted Answer

At least 35+ actors were tested for every chief character except Manoj, for whom only one actor was tested.
