When asked about the difficulty in portraying a Parsi character, he said ” It wasn’t difficult for me to play a Parsi role. I have friends who are Parsis. So, I didn’t have to go to any training sessions for the same”
Bollywood seems to be showering all its love on Rustom after Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, Sonam Kapoor, Karan Johar, Ranveer Singh and Sidharth Malhotra posted the videos on the social networking sites supporting and requesting their fans to watch the movie on 12thAugust.
Talking about the similar subjects of the film he is opting for, onscreen Rustom said “There are many subjects and stories that people aren’t aware of. Films provide a platform for the people to know such hidden truths and stories. It is not that I opt for the same subject films, I have done Rustom, then there was Singh is Bliing which were complete different genre”
