Kabir Khan, who has helmed films such as “Kabul Express”, “New York” and “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”, has opened up on the struggle to cast the character of Munni from his 2015 Salman Khan-starrer “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”.
The filmmaker, who started his career with documentary films and has over the years become one of the most sought-after directors of Bollywood, said the casting of Munni (the character eventually played by child actress Harshaali Malhotra) was central to the film, and a wrong casting choice would have drowned it.
Khan said: “After all these years, If I were to speak about one aspect of the making of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, I would speak about the hunt for the girl who would portray Munni. After writing the script, I knew our biggest challenge would be to find the correct casting for Munni.
