Presenting Yuvaa’s first-ever Be A Man, Yaar TOWNHALL, hosted by Nikhil Taneja, featuring Imtiaz Ali and Vedang Raina for a conversation that goes far beyond the film. From why Imtiaz is careful while talking about religion and politics, to the meme about his films becoming masterpieces years after release, nothing is off-limits. Expect moving conversations about the horrors of Partition, why Vedang’s abs didn’t make it to the screen, and why Gen Z is a lot smarter than we give them credit for (beyond the ‘breadcrumbing’ and ‘body count’ jokes). Vedang’s experience of playing a young Naseer, the compliment from the legend that meant the world to him, audience reactions to “Main Vaapas Aaunga”, and plenty of laughter, insight, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
