“When ‘Bhoot Hoon Main’ released, it was as kickass as it sounds today. When I got to know that the team of ‘Lupt’ has recreated the song, I watched the promo of their film and I really liked it.

Talking about “Lupt”, Javed Jaffrey said: “In the early period of my career, I used to get roles of dancers in films and then I started doing television and comedy so, people don’t see me out of those roles and image. When Prabhuraj approached for this film he told me that it is totally serious role and there is nothing funny in the character and my character doesn’t even crack a joke.

“I really appreciated that he looked beyond my previous performances and my image and he decided to showcase me as a serious actor. I think the film has really good script as well so, when I came in the film, I was totally charged as I believed in the project and its very tight and solid project.”
