But he also shared that it took him about two months to watch his most successful work Paatal Lok and mentioned that he ended up watching Raazi because his director

and Alia Bhatt threatened to block his number if he doesn’t watch the film. He saw the film in its fourth screening.

Jaideep also shared an anecdote from the Raazi shoot, he mentioned that on the last day of the Patiala schedule he had to perform a close-up shot and they were running out of time. He added that Meghna couldn’t watch it on the monitor, and he was told that they would shoot three different takes and were confident that he would nail it. He said that the pressure on him was on a completely different level and that made his performance even better.
