Lootcase director Rajesh Krishnan shares his experience
Talking about Garjraj Rao, the ad maker-turned-director said, "Even before Kunal came for the project, we knew we are working with Gajraj for sure. When he finally said yes to the film, I told him even if you haven't said yes, I would have kidnapped from your house and kept you on a gunpoint to make you perform. We haven't even started seeing Gajraj's capabilities yet."
"I had a certain vision of what shooting a feature film was all about, but then it was far beyond my expectations." - Lootcase director
When asked to summarise his experience of shooting the film with the cast, Rajesh asserted, "It was very fulfilling and educational". Elaborating further, he added, "Every day I wake up and still can't believe I worked with Vijay Raaz, Gajraj Rao, Ranvir Shorey. Vijay Raaz is a living legend. I have been seeing Kunal Kemmu for a good 25 years. He was brilliant as a child artist."
As the conversation moved ahead, he added, "Rasika is like a teacher. And, it's best that you let her do those takes. I imagine what I can teach these guys. They just board in the story and let's just play it as seriously as we can."
