Jibraan Khan On Working In Brahmastra As An Assistant Director: “I feel blessed”

Jibraan Khan is currently soaking in all the praises for his performance in Ishq Vishk Rebound. But did you know that he has also worked as an Assistant Director in Ayan Mukerji’s film Brahmastra? In an exclusive chat with us, the actor spoke about his experience of working on the Brahmastra set and with great actors like Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan. The actor said, “For me, I think, I was blessed to work in a film like Brahmastra. It’s one of the biggest films ever made in India. The things that I have learned during Brahmastra, I don’t think I could have learned that in any film school. There is a reason why an actor should work as an AD first, and it’s not only because you learn how a set operates but also understand how an actor operates.” Jibraan Khan further spoke about work ethics he learned from the Brahmastra stars, “I have studied Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, and why they are such big superstars. It’s all because they are so professional in their work. If there is an 8 AM shift, they are there at 7:50. I am saying this because I was the AD and it was my duty to wait for the stars. Mr Bachchan does every line before he goes on set. I have run lines with Mr Bachchan.”

Jibraan Khan stressed the importance of working as an AD, “It’s a blessing in disguise. I feel people need to understand that being an AD is not only a fun job but it’s one of the best institutes to learn everything about films. Everything means being a boy on set, being a clapper or a hair makeup boy. Ayan gave me so many departments to handle. Those two-three years were the most important years of my life and I needed that. The technicalities, the VFX, the camera use, shooting in Bulgaria in -2o degrees, it’s the best feeling. I would always tell any actor, that if they have time, they should at least assist in one film. Their outlook towards filmmaking will completely change. You will not bash films because you will understand how much effort and manpower it takes to make one film. You will start respecting it and it’s a great procedure.”
