Kunal Kemmu says you cannot fake a real laugh. The actor, getting positive reviews for his new series Single Papa, talked about his unexpected path to directing the movie Madgaon Express. He told an outlet that writing the script in 2015 was one thing, but he had zero idea how to actually make it. He originally thought he might just act in it as one of the three friends.
Producers read it years later and insisted he should direct it himself. Kemmu said things just fall into place when they are supposed to, claiming it sometimes takes a lot of work and sometimes almost nothing if the stars align. He remembered being super nervous at the trailer launch, with the room going silent before it played. When the audience finally saw it, the room went berserk with genuine laughter. He compared that reaction to being on stage, noting that real amusement is an uncontrollable, natural response.
