I asked, ‘Why should I wear the skirt and blouse?’ He said, ‘You will be behind it’)." (“I came to the set wearing the usual costume with a gun. Then Subhash ji said, ‘Make him wear a ghagra choli.’ I was shocked and asked, ‘Sir, what are you doing?’ He told me, ‘No, go and wear it.’ I asked, ‘Why should I wear a ghagra choli?’ He replied, ‘Because you will be behind the choli.’”)With the first look of 'Khalnayak Returns' now out, anticipation is building once again for the action thriller.
