“Excited for my first action role”: Shantanu Maheshwari on ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 29 (ANI): Shantanu Maheshwari, who stars in the much-awaited Ajay Devgn and Tabu starrer ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’, recently shared his excitement about performing action scenes for the first time.

In a conversation with ANI, Shantanu said, “It was the first time I got an out-and-out action type of content, so it was fun. I was excited. I had a great time performing those action sequences because Sir also gave time. He gave time in terms of allowing us to rehearse properly because you have to be on your toes and deliver in everything that you’re doing. So yeah, it was super fun.”

Speaking about why people relate the movie to the 90s, Shantanu said, “I think maybe the names are very heavy and very different compared to today’s names, so that’s why people are relating it to the 90s. Also, I feel like Ajay sir and Tabu ma’am are in it, and there’s romance and an intense love story. So, because of that, people can relate a lot and are eager and excited to watch this film. It’s wonderful that we could be part of this project.”

Shantanu also spoke about his unexpected journey into acting.

“I mean, I never thought that I would enter acting. It just happened by default. It was a dance show that I auditioned for. I found my passion for acting and then this happened, and films happened after so long, but I’m glad it happened. I’m happy with the journey that I’ve had, which was different and has taught me and trained me to be where I am today and be able to conduct myself in a certain manner. I’m so happy, but yeah I never thought that I would ever do something like this,” said the ‘Gangubai’ actor.

Just recently the makers of the much-awaited movie unveiled the second track ‘Ae Dil Zara’.

The makers of the Neeraj Pandey-directorial movie had earlier shared the trailer of the movie.

The trailer starts with a voiceover by Ajay Devgn, who is convinced that no one can separate him from the love of his life (Tabu).

However, destiny had different plans. The video then showed visuals of Ajay sitting in a prison.

The trailer also saw Shantanu Maheshwari essaying the role of a young Ajay Devgn romancing the character of Tabu.

The film promises to be a unique musical love story with an epic romantic drama spanning across 20 years, set between 2002 and 2023.

The original soundtrack of the film has been created by the Oscar-winning composer MM Kreem. The lyrics are by Manoj Muntashir.
