NEW DELHI: Kunal Kapoor will be seen in Amin Hajee’s psychological thriller ‘Koi Jaane Na’. The actor will be coming back to the big screen after his last release, ‘Gold’. Amin will be making his directorial debut with ‘Koi Jaane Na’ and on being asked why he wanted Kunal for his debut film he said, “I chose Kunal as he suited the role of Kabir Kapoor. I went and met him after which I realised he is the right guy, not just as he suited the role to the T but because of the person that he is.”
Amin added, “He had been my friend for a while, we had known each other because of Aamir Khan and because of ‘Rang De Basanti’ and we became friends. But we were not the best of friends so I didn’t know him as much as I got to know him when I started to interact with him as a professional who would be a part of my film.”
Talking about his interactions, he said, “That time I came to know in my brief interactions that he is a solid guy, who is a man of his words. He’s not the typical star that might say yes to you once on a whim just to keep you hanging and dangling and then walk away from you when you would go and follow things up and you would not get any solid reply, he was not that kind of guy.”
“Always honest, forthcoming, always a call away, would always call me back if I couldn’t get through to him the first time. So those were very amazing traits in him,” added Amin.
Kunal has taken on varied roles over the years. ‘Rang De Basanti’ was his most memorable performance. ‘Koi Jane Na’ pairs the actor with Amyra Dastur. The film will release on 2 April.
