Aditya Uppal on working with Sanjay Dutt
Speaking to India Today, Uppal reflected on working with Sanjay and highlighted the natural pressure of sharing a screen with a legend. “You obviously feel intimidated. He’s a senior actor, a name we’ve all grown up watching. But the beauty of Sanjay sir is that he makes everything so comfortable. He brings a certain charm with him that instantly brightens the mood on set,” he said. According to Uppal, Dutt’s atmosphere improved his performance. “It creates a space where you can hang out, play and even improvise. It really lets you go,” she said.
Aditya Uppal is a Sanjay Dutt fan
Uppal called the collaboration a very personal milestone. “I’ve been a fan of his since I was a kid, so to be standing next to him felt like an achievement. To be able to share screen space and conversations with him was really special.” The actor who plays Omar Hamid Aditya Dharthe film echoed that sentiment. “I’ve been a fan of hers since I was a kid, so being next to her felt like an achievement. Sharing screen space and conversations with her was really special,” she shared. Pointing to a memorable highlight, Uppal recalled, “Even in my close-ups, he chose to stay back and act out the scene with me instead of stepping away and using a double. That kind of support means a lot, especially to someone like me.“
Aditya Uppal met Sanjay Dutt for the first time
Describing their first meeting, Uppal said it happened on the set itself due to lack of time. He said, “I was dropped at the last minute, and my first meeting with him was live on the set in Amritsar during the Hamza party scene. I remember touching his feet and honestly telling him that I’m one of his biggest fans, someone who grew up watching his films on VCRs. I told him how much I admire his work, especially Sadak and Saajan. How it all started, it was a very easy conversation from there.”
