This tells how prepared he is!”
Abhishek Bachchan:
Jr Bachchan further adds, “I and Mayank spent days prepping as we didn’t want to leave anything unprepared. There were so many things to explore and we did not want to waste time exploring the sets. Everything about Avinash’s and J’s personalities was pre-decided. Every reason behind their every action is well thought out. We plotted maybe how 10 years down the line how they would still be. So there was in-depth work that Mayank made me do on the characters”.
