About his first encounter with Amitabh, Hansal had shared on Twitter last year, “I’d just begun my career and had dropped off a letter to Mr. Bachchan’s bungalow (with security). The next morning at around 8 am my mother comes to the room and says that there is a call for me from Amitabh. My assistant editor at that time was Amitabh Verma. I pick up and say ‘Bol Amitabh’. Reply is ‘ Main Amitabh Bachchan bol raha hu’.”

 

Hansal is riding high on the success of his recent project, webseries The Scam 1992, which garnered critical acclaim as well as great appreciation for lead actor Patik Gandhi. Hansal’s last release was Rajkummar Rao-Nushrat Bharucha and Zeeshan Ayyub starrer Chhalaang that had a digital premiere recently.
