Director's insight
'He personally reached out to everyone'

Kapoor's reputation for not having a large entourage has been echoed by others in the industry. Animal actor Srinath Maganti shared a similar experience on the Sodhi Chebutha podcast, stating, "Ranbir Kapoor does not come with an entourage." "When he comes on set, a huge plate filled with healthy chips, biscuits, chocolates and all kinds of snacks is brought along. It's for the people around him on set."
