Sanjay Gupta on casting Harshvardhan Rane and Meezaan Jafri

Speaking about how there is always chatter about making room for stories over stars in the entertainment industry, Sanjay Gupta reveals that reality is not the same. He told Mid-Day that he learned it the hard way as he set out to make The Miranda Brothers and revealed that pulling off this film was not easy. He said, “To pull off such a film isn’t easy. I started my digital wing because we cannot ignore OTT."

The director further mentioned that the casting of the football drama has to be simple and he needed two actors who were well-versed in the sport. “I wanted to make the film immediately. If I were to go to Varun Dhawan or Sidharth [Malhotra], I would have to wait for a year. None of the stars at that time were willing to do a direct-to-OTT film. Even now, most of them are not. As I shot this movie in Goa, I learnt that I’m not dependent on a crew of 300. You can be a big-ticket director and yet make a movie that you feel for. Every film doesn’t have to be with mega stars.”

Meanwhile, besides Harshvardhan and Meezaan, the film also stars Sanjay Suri, Rahul De v, Sahher Bambba, Jeniffer Piccinato, Manasi Joshi Roy, Nikhil Chinapa, and Naved Jafri in important parts. Directed by Sanjay Gupta, it is produced under White Feather Films by Sanjay Gupta and Anuradha Gupta.
