Aparshakti Khurana on his equation with Rahul Bose

Speaking to WION, Aparshakti Khurana, who is on a high with the release of his new film, shared an interesting anecdote from the sets of Berlin. He said, “Rahul (Bose) affectionately calls me ‘Punjabi Pushkin’ because of my character’s name, Pushkin, in Berlin. On-screen, my character is calm and composed, but off-camera, I’m quite the opposite. As soon as I hear a cut, I quickly ask Rahul if he wants to grab a cup of chai and chat. I bring that full-on Punjabi energy, which is how the nickname came about.”
