In an interview with Film Companion last year, Naga Chaitanya revealed, “One thing is for sure that, what I have learnt in last 12 years, I learnt from him in 45 days. He has taught me more than that. He’s got this amazing magic that he can rub off, influence people without even trying. He’s not doing that on purpose, it’s just the amount of knowledge he has, the human being that he is. He is such a lovely person.”
He also said, “At first, he is an actor, but he is in-tuned with craft as much as he with acting, and that’s amazing. He is always chasing content. He always talks about content first. He doesn’t talk about (box office) numbers or packaging. All that comes in the end, but as they’re filming, and till they finish filming, he is only chasing the content, and he’s been true to that.”
Previously, Chaitanya had mentioned that Aamir had personally called him for the role in Laal Singh Chaddha. Speaking with Deccan Chronicle, he said, “I got a call from Aamir Khan. After discussing the initial modalities of the script, I went to Mumbai for final discussions and was quickly on board. It was like magic! Aamir said he’d watched some of my performances and trailers of my film and was very impressed and that he felt I’d be apt for the role.”
