Koimoi recently got into an exclusive conversation with Sara. The actress opened up about working with director Aanand L Rai. She also revealed how she bagged Atrangi Re and called it a ‘dream come true.’ But the highlight of the conversation remains her words for Khiladi Kumar.
Sara Ali Khan revealed that Akshay Kumar calls everyone on sets ‘Maalik.’ She revealed, “Akshay Sir is like very very senior. But jab unke saath set pe hote hai, and hum sab hasi mazak me sab saath rehte hai, toh pata nahi chalta hai ki wo itne senior hai. Mujhse leke, spotboy se leke, AD se director – sabko wo maalik bulate hai. Toh bohot acha lagta hai. (When you’re on sets with him and having fun, it never feels like he’s such a senior. Starting from me to the spot boy, the Ads and the director – he calls everybody Maalik (master). So, it feels really good.)”
