The experience of working among the big star cast in ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ was not limited to just shooting for the artists. Disha Patani described it as an opportunity to learn and understand, while according to Arshad Warsi, the environment of the set was so comfortable that the pressure of work was not felt. While talking to Dainik Bhaskar, both the actors said that the biggest strength of this film was the coordination between the actors and the time spent together.
Sharing her shooting experience, Disha Patani said that she worked with such big actors, but never felt any distance on the set.
Question: Disha, how different was it for you to work with such experienced actors?
Answer/Disha Patni: In the beginning one definitely feels the responsibility because one is working with so many experienced people, but the atmosphere here was such that no one made one feel pressured. There was happiness because I was learning something new every day.
Question: What was the biggest learning?
Answer/Disha Patni: The biggest thing I learned was that even after gaining experience, people do not take work lightly. Even after working for so many years, people come with preparation and hard work, but keep the atmosphere light. This balance seemed most important.
Question: What impressed you the most on the set?
Answer/Disha Patni: Everyone’s behavior with each other. There were such big artists but no distance was felt. Everyone used to sit together, eat food and talk. I think the same bonding will be seen in the film also.
Question: Did you ever feel pressure to prove yourself among so many artists?
Answer/Disha Patni: I didn’t think so. The atmosphere here was very comfortable. Everyone was helping each other improve, so there was no competition.
Answer/Arshad Warsi: No one came here to leave anyone behind. Everyone’s focus was only on making the film good and people being entertained.
Question: Arshad, how was the experience of working among so many comedy artists?
Answer/Arshad Warsi: If you look at the entire team, everyone’s sense of humor is amazing. No one person was creating the atmosphere, everyone was adding something. For me, it didn’t even feel like work.
Arshad Warsi said that off camera bonding was the real strength of the film.
Question: You said that shooting did not feel like work, why is that?
Answer/Arshad Warsi: I used to joke that I was on vacation. I didn’t wait for shooting, I used to wait to go to the set and meet people. It was equally fun off camera.
Question: Did you ever feel that it was more like spending time together than shooting?
Answer/Arshad Warsi: Yes, because here people were not acting only when the camera was on. We used to sit and talk, laugh and then suddenly someone would say that the shot is ready. It’s not every day that you get a chance to work with so many people.
Question: What will be the most special memory related to the film?
Answer/Disha Patni: The best memory for me will be that I got a chance to spend time with everyone for such a long time. That’s the thing I remember the most after the shoot is over.
Answer/Arshad Warsi: I think we will miss each other the most. It is very rare to spend so much time with such a big team and this will be my biggest memory from this film.
