Alisha Chinai began by saying, “Apart from being a singer, I also wanted to be an actor. Hence, I dabbled in modelling. I was called for a screen test with Aamir Khan. No one knows this story. He knows, though (laughs). It was for Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.” She continued, “I went for the audition. He rehearsed the dialogues with me. I went home and told myself, ‘I can’t cry on a cue’.

I said, ‘You’re a good singer. Forget acting’. Hence, I didn’t go for the final audition.” She revealed, “Only two people had been shortlisted – me and Juhi Chawla (laughs). I think Aamir was quite upse...

Mirzapur The Movie has stunned everyone with collections crossing the Rs. 200 crore mark. Before release, what was your prediction about the film’s lifetime numbers?

As a result, we never got the time or chance to discuss the box office or what should be the ideal collection of the film. Moreover, we also got educated as we moved along while making the film. We we...
