Jaideep Ahlawat, Vijay Varma, and Kareena Kapoor attended the trailer launch event of their much-awaited film âJaane Jaan'. At the trailer launch of the Sujoy Ghosh directorial, Kareena said she was more scared than she was 20 years ago when she made her film debut. The Jab We Met star went on to say that while the producer floated some names around, she was adamant about working with "actors... really amazing actors." Kareena Kapoor stated that she wanted to work with someone to whom she could bring new ideas while also learning.
"He came back saying how about Jaideep for the professor's role and Vijay for that part. I didn't even think for a second and said, Let's do it. I want to work with them. And I can't thank them enough. Sometimes, in the middle of the shot, I would look at them and forget my lines. I have never done it; they are so natural. It was just meant to be," she added.
Kareena Kapoor, while interacting with the media, also shared that her husband, Saif Ali Khan, had previously told her to pull up her socks before working with Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat. The actress said, "Saif had already told me, âListen, it's not like van se make-up laga ke nikalogi aur set pe dialogue bologi. Stop this attitude. You are working with Jaideep and Vijay; be prepared. They would be improvising and all, so you better be on your toes. It's not like a picnic'. He warned me. So I was a little more cautious, like a student who's more alert. Saif was like, 'Stop being a backbencher, aage aake kuch karo'. I was constantly watching them. I know that Jaideep is so prepared and composed, like his character. Vijay, I realised, is a bit like me. He may be laughing around on the set, but when it comes to work, every take is so different from another. But it's very thought-out, like, what is he going to say."
During the event, Jaideep Ahlawat, renowned for his impactful performances, showered accolades upon his co-star, the ever-elegant Kareena Kapoor Khan. Ahlawat said, "You will definitely forget your lines when you look into Kareena's eyes and stand in front of her, however hard you've learnt them. I've seen many great artists being dumbfounded when she steps on the sets; even the camera starts shaking; that's how much she owns the space," he playfully remarked.
