Kartik and I Used to Play Football Together, post shoot” Says Actor Afnan Fazli

Actor Afnan Fazli, who plays Shoaib in Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday starrer Tu Mera Main Teri Main Tera Tu Meri, recently opened up about his memorable experience of shooting the film across Croatia and bonding closely with his co actors. Calling the journey surreal, Afnan shared, “It was an amazing experience working with Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday. It was really fun to hang out with them, and even post-shooting hours were more fun". Recalling the off-camera moments, the actor added that the teams often spent time together after pack-up. “We would chill at the beach, play music, dance, everyone would be there. They are extremely humble and sweet."

 One of Afnan’s favourite memories from the shoot was playing football with Kartik Aaryan during the Croatia schedule. “We used to play football together a lot. Croatian football is very famous, and we bonded a lot through that. We also used to eat together often,” Afnan shared.

The film was shot across picturesque Croatian locations, making the experience even more special. “The beauty of Croatia was mesmerising. We didn’t stay in just one place we travelled across islands like Vis Island, Trogir, and Split, staying four to five days at each location,” Afnan said. Ferry rides between islands also turned into bonding moments for the cast. “We often travelled by ferry, which had a gaming arena onboard where we’d play football together.”

Afnan also spoke about meeting filmmaker Karan Johar for the first time at the film’s release screening. “I met him Karan Sir at the screening. It still feels like a dream. I’m still pinching myself. Ever since I was a child, I used to look up to him and dream of getting a picture with him as a fan... To now being part of his film and then getting a picture with him as someone who worked on the film, it’s a completely different feeling. He’s really humble and sweet.”

Hailing from Pulwama, Kashmir, Afnan Fazli’s journey is to watch out for. The actor also had a show release this month - Real Kashmir FC on Sony Liv.
