In a recent interview, Naga Chaitanya opened up about being a part of this highly anticipated film and all the things he learned from Aamir Khan. He said, "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.”
In the film, Naga is Aamir Khan’s friend while serving in the army together. We have already seen glimpses of Naga and Aamir share the screen in the many glimpses, trailer, and songs from the film.
