Sanjay Gupta is known for his stylish cinema, be it in the way he styles his actors or shoots his films.
His upcoming thriller Jazbaa is no different. His lead actor Irrfan has so far always been presented as the character he plays. But inJazbaa, we are seeing a stylised Irrfan for the first time mouthing seetiwaale one-liners.
Telling us about styling Irrfan, Sanjay said, "Irrfan is a fantastic actor but so far, he has always been presented as a character in the film, but I was clear that I wanted to break the barrier and bring him in the space of herogiri. He is the hero and just like I used to do with Sanju, Irrfan too is wearing these cool clothes, speaking these great one-liners.
The connection between me and Sanju has always been strong. And I have always styled him in a manner that connected with people and made Sanju a style icon. I wanted to do the same with Irrfan. When Irrfan signed the film, the promise I made to him was that I would present him the same way as I had presented Sanju. As a matter of fact, I showed Sanju the trailer when he was out on parole and he caught on.''
