Casting triumph
Shetty's joy over successful ensemble casts
When questioned about his triumph in assembling impressive ensemble casts, Shetty expressed his joy when actors agree to collaborate and portray the characters he has crafted for them.
"I am always happy and satisfied about that rather than being 'See, I got this star to my film.' More than that, it's like 'We have written and thought of this actor to play this character and they're performing this.' That is the satisfaction that you get," Shetty stated.
