Mar 26, 2026According to Prasad, both Anupam Kher and Aahana Kumra are fantastic actors and were comfortable with each other, given their background from the National School of Drama (NSD). Prasad found it easy to direct them and get what he wanted from them as a director.
Anupam Kher, in particular, was an acting institution in himself, and Prasad learned a lot from him while shooting Happy Birthday. Aahana Kumra, on the other hand, was a pool of vibrant energy, constantly on her toes to do her best. Working with both of them was a delightful experience for Prasad, and he hopes to work with them again in the future.
During the interview, Prasad also shared an interesting incident that happened on the set of Happy Birthday. After the shoot was over, he asked Anupam Kher and Aahana Kumra if they would like to watch the film, thinking they would assume he was joking.

However, Prasad and his team were so well-prepared that they had a rough cut ready by the time the shoot was over, despite it being a 16-hour tiring shoot. Anupam Kher appreciated their hard work and said it was worth it, as he had never worked that long on a set before. It was a victorious moment for Prasad and his team.
