Kunal on Madgaon Express
Talking about the film on the vodcast Chalchitra Talks last year, Kunal said that he didn’t find Farhan’s film Dil Chahta Hai and Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara relatable. He said while the films were aspirational, he could not relate to the ‘rich brats’ in the film. He stated in the same interview that he pitched Madgaon Express so ‘people like him’ could relate to the characters on-screen.
Kunal said, “But you feel inke pas toh sab kuch hai yar. Tab samajh aaya paise se khushi nahi khareedi ja sakti hai. Lekin humko thoda apne wala bhi dekhna padega. Jissey thodi relatability ho. Ye thoda zyada hi aspirational ho gaya (You feel these characters have everything. Then it dawned on me that you can't buy happiness. But I had to represent people like me on screen so that there's relatability. This got too aspirational). So my pitch to the producers of those films for my film was, mere jaise logon ka kya? Unke liye ye picture hai (What about people like me? This film is for them).”
