After being confined to his house for months on end due to the pandemic, Meezaan Jaffri was ecstatic when director Priyadarshan informed him that the unit would resume Hungama 2 shoot soon. Last month, the actor headed to Manali with co-stars Shilpa Shetty, Paresh Rawal and Praneetha Suresh to complete the final schedule of the comedy. If shooting for his second film was a cakewalk, he says the credit lies with Shetty and the director. "I was ecstatic to be finally able to get out of my house. I'd never been to Manali before. The weather was beautiful. I felt people are now appreciating the little joys in our life. Every shot was making us jubilant. The film has shaped up insane. It's visually striking. I hope people watch this in theatres."
A large part of his energy on set came from Shetty, his co-star. "There is such a positive vibe about her. She lightens up the set. One should learn how to have a ball of a time on their own. Even though she is such a senior actor, she doesn't let you feel that barrier. Sometimes experienced people evoke that hesitation but on this set I opened up like never before. Priyan sir (Director) treats me like I am his own son and guides me for the future. He teaches me these little nuances that improve my craft. He is the kind of filmmaker who will have your back and bring out the best in you."
