Preity Zinta is opening up about her experience on set with director Rajkumar Santoshi, and let’s just say it was intense. According to reports doing the rounds in Indian media, the actress revealed the filmmaker didn’t ease her in gently, from day one, she was tackling some seriously challenging scenes that pushed her limits and tested her range as an actor.

But the real tea? Preity also witnessed co-star Sunny Deol absolutely immerse himself in a scene so emotionally that the whole cast was left shaking. That’s not a figure of speech, she’s saying everyone felt it. That’s the kind of raw, unfiltered dedication to craft that gets people talking for years.

This is what working with Rajkumar Santoshi looks like. The director has built a legendary career on films like Ghayal, Andaz Apna Apna, and The Legend of Bhagat Singh, and his reputation for being exacting on set clearly isn’t exaggerated. He demands the best from his actors, and apparently, he gets it.

These kinds of behind-the-scenes stories are what we live for. Our cameras are on the case and our sources are watching closely.
