It's that time of the time when love is in the air again. And who better than the nation's dears, Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan to talk about all effects of Love aaj kal 2! The lead brace of filmmaker Imtiaz Ali's violent, romantic film has an affable charm that shines through. In all the elevations for their first film together, the youthful Jodi took time out for a candid discussion for TMM's 5th-anniversary edition. Raise a glass to love, we say!
What makes this film different from the former Love aaj kal ?
Kartik This isn't an extension of the film or an effect to it. The theme is the same. There are 2 love stories and 4 characters. What happens in their peregrinations and whether they cross or not is what this film is about. It's a pure love story.
After working with Imtiaz Ali, has the description of love come to Sufiana for you?
Kartik It's been a life-changing event to work with Imtiaz sir. Performing 2 characters – Aaj ka Veer aur kal ka Raghu – took me out of my relaxation zone. It's a violent romantic film and a hardcore love story. Imtiaz sir made it easy with all the fixes he made us do. From body language to the way they communicate, there was a lot of practice to be done.
Sara Imtiaz sir himself said that love is the commodity you can noway completely understand. It's a trip by itself. As an actor, I'm veritably new and as a girl, I'm veritably youthful. So, for both reasons, my experience has not been important. With Imtiaz sir, I felt I could go through these gests, which is also the reason I came to an actor. We can't live so numerous lives but we get to live so numerous characters.
Sara, did you partake in any information with Imtiaz on how to represent your character, Zoe?
Imtiaz sir is a genius in his regard and it's not my place to give him any inputs. As an actor, I understand the difference between public character and onscreen personality which are different. What I stand for on social media or as Sara, isn't what I've to stand for as an actor. That's a director's appanage because it's his medium and it's the pen's job. I've to go on set with complete conviction and full honesty and portray the character to the stylish of my capability.
In the age of Tinder and swiping left or right, do you suppose Love aaj kal has changed? Has it also come more complicated for you as actors, whose lives are always under scrutiny?
Sara Whether it's matching moments versus 10 times ago or whether you're talking about actors versus artists, I suppose the only thing that changes is the language of expression of love. It's how you show your love or the freedom with which you reveal that will change. The duration of how important time you have to sit and talk sweet nothings with your loved bones will change. The introductory feeling that governs that emotion will stand the test of time, profession, and distance. If it doesn't – romantic as it may sound – also it's not love.
