22 years later, Black Friday wins over Anurag Kashyap's daughter: No bigger reward
'Stolen' also has Nikhil Advani as one of the executive producers, along with Kashyap, Vikramaditya MMotwane, and Kiran Rao.In a lighter moment, when asked which of these directors' film sets he would have loved to be on, Kashyap said, "I would have loved to be on the sets of 'Kal Ho Na Ho'. Because I knew a different Nikkhil Advani, and I was sure Nikkhil cannot pull off 'Kal Ho Na Ho'. He is somebody from a different school doing a film because he is just getting a chance and he won't be able to pull it off and he made what a fantastic film. So for me, it's like I would want to see the first Nikhil Advani film to notice how he was doing things.''Stolen' is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. You May Also Like

The filmmaker shared that it was "not easy" to work with a star like Salman due to the latter's unique working style.

The filmmaker, who is accustomed to early morning shoots, recalled that they filmed day sequences during the night, which created a significant hurdle for the crew. "It's not easy to shoot with a star. Even day scenes, we have to shoot at night because he turns up to sets only by 8 PM. We are people who are used to shooting right from early mornings, but that's not how things work there," he said. Child artists would be 'tired' and 'usually dozed off' AR Murugadoss further recounted that Salman Khan 's working style created difficulties for other actors, especially child artists, who would become tired and fall asleep during the late-night sessions. The 50-year-old director stated that he would shoot with kids at 2:00 am even if the scene was them returning from school. Earlier in an interview with India Today this year, Salman Khan addressed the rumors of him arriving late on set. The Tiger 3 actor responded to the claim by saying that his "timings are different". Talking about maintaining disciplined work ethic, Salman added that once the superstar reaches on set, he doesn't go back to his vanity van or sit down. Produced under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson, Sikandar marked AR Murugadoss' theatrical comeback in Bollywood after nine years. Murugadoss has previously helmed three Hindi releases, Ghajini, Akira, and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty.

Expectations further shot up when Sun Pictures, the production house that is producing the film, officially announced the launch of Jailer 2 through an exceptionally interesting teaser that was both funny and thrilling. The announcement teaser of Jailer 2 opened with a radio announcement that a cyclone was making its way to the coast, even as music director Anirudh and director Nelson are shown having a funny conversation in Goa, where they have come for what Nelson says is a story discussion session. The two are obviously looking to find a storyline for Nelson's next film. The hilarious banter between the two soon makes way for some explosive action as random people who enter the room where the two are seated either get shot or stabbed. With both the music director and the director scurrying for cover, you see a hazy image of Rajinikanth entering the room, obviously looking to hunt down any other survivors left behind. When Rajinikanth leaves the room and steps out, a grenade is lobbed in. Outside, Rajinikanth takes on more powerful villains. That is when an awestruck Anirudh tells director Nelson, 'This looks fearsome Nelsa! Let's make this into a film!" Just the announcement teaser of Jailer 2 was a big hit, garnering over 13 million views in a matter of just 48 hours.
