Mohit Suri heaps praises on Aditya Roy Kapur

With Aashiqui 2 (2013), Mohit Suri and Aditya Roy Kapur had one of the biggest hits of their careers. After a long gap of seven years, the duo has joined hands once again for a romantic action thriller titled Malang. The makers dropped its trailer a couple of weeks ago, which received great response from all the corners. The audience is now looking forward to seeing what new the two has to offer.

Aditya Roy Kapur, who was last seen in Dharma Productions’ Kalank (2019), worked hard to get into the skin of his character in Malang. One can clearly see his drastic transformation in the trailer of the movie. His personal transformation for the character has made director Mohit Suri very proud.

“I did not cast Aditya in Malang for our past association; I cast him as he was right for the role. Having said that, I must admit Aditya took on this journey of transforming himself from a hippie to a hero. He is now more assertive about his life; he has taken charge of his destiny. This, I think, comes with maturity. He was more a child than a man. Now he has embraced his maturity,” said the filmmaker who has several successful films to his credit like Zeher (2005), Murder 2 (2011) and Ek Villain (2014).

Aside from Aditya Roy Kapur, Malang also stars Disha Patani, Anil Kapoor and Kunal Khemu in lead roles. This is the first time when Aditya and Disha have teamed up together for a project. Produced by Luv Ranjan and Bhushan Kumar under the banners of Luv Films and T-Series Films respectively, the much-awaited film is scheduled for its theatrical release on 7th February, 2020.

These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
