The lead actor of 'Jigariyaa', Harshvardhan Deo had met Rajkumar Hirani a year- and-a-half ago. Recalling the meeting, Hirani says, "We all know it's difficult to get work in the industry and I suggested Harshvardhan to focus on his talent and he'd eventually get work. After that, he has always kept me updated. A few days ago, he came to me with his film's trailer and when I saw it, I was glad."
Hirani, who loved the trailer, said, "I come from a small town and that's the reason I can relate to Jigariyaa. I can sense the small city's fragrance, which attracted me to it. After watching the trailer, I met Raj and Vinod. They have worked passionately on the movie. I've decided to see it when it's ready and for now, I wish the entire team all the best."
