Yami Gautam is all set for the release of her upcoming film ‘Kaabil’ alongside Hrithik Roshan. Talking EXCLUSIVELY with team MissKyra, Yami opened up about her experience while shooting for the movie.

When asked if she was nervous working with Hrithik Roshan:

Before I came on the sets with him, of course, I was very nervous how can I not be nervous (laughs). I had sleepless nights because it is Hrithik Roshan, and dance and a new form, and we are visually impaired…WOW! It sounds unbelievable.

When asked about matching steps with Hrithik:

I was like ‘Where do I start my prep work?' It is separate that I love dancing, but to dance next to Hrithik Roshan in a film like this, it was something else. Once Hrithik and I started rehearsing with Ahmed Sir and his team, I used to go back again at late night and rehearse. So I was almost working in double shifts.

When asked about her experience while working with Hrithik:

We all know Hrithik as a superstar, but when I started working with him I realised that he is much more than a superstar. I often fall short of words to describe my experience with him or what I have to say about Hrithik. It takes a lot to be able to inspire someone and yet be absolutely unaffected by it. He is so simple and so easy to work with. That’s not possible if at a personal level you are not that simple a person.

Talking about the overall ‘Kaabil’ experience:

Thank you so much for all the love, you all have given to the trailer and to the songs. Everybody’s worked really hard but we use to go on the sets as if someone’s going just to explore something new and you don’t want to pack up. We really wouldn’t know when it was time to pack up.

'Kaabil' will hit the theatres on 25th January.
