Rajkumar Hirani Encouraged Son Vir's Acting After Initial Hesitation
Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani revealed that he was initially surprised and tried to discourage his son Vir Hirani from pursuing acting, as Vir had shown interest and talent in filmmaking and had worked behind the camera. Vir cited a dialogue from Hirani's film '3 Idiots' about following one's passion to justify his choice. Rajkumar then encouraged Vir to train in theatre, leading to five to six years of preparation before Vir's acting debut in the OTT series 'Pritam and Pedro'.
