In an interview, the talented star revealed that it took two months for him to complete the web series while he agreed to watch the espionage thriller Alia Bhatt and Meghna Gulzar threatened him.While having a conversation with his Jaane Jaan costar Saurabh Sachdeva, spoke about his experience while working in Raazi and revealed that for the first time in his life, he started having nightmares because of work. “It’s normal to be affected by work. With me, I started having nightmares during Raazi for the first time ever. I never used to have nightmares. But because I was so entrenched in the world of espionage at the time, because I had read up so much on the subject, I got scared. For the first time in my life, I would wake up with a start at night. I would see people running from guns and bombs,” said the actor in Hindi.Revealing that he hasn't seen 80 per cent of his finished work, Jaideep shared an interesting anecdote and said, “I watched Raazi only after Meghna and Alia threatened to block my number. I went for the fourth screening.”The actor was last seen in Netflix's Jaane Jaan, which was directed by Sujoy Ghosh of Kahaani fame. The film also featured Kareena Kapoor Khan and Vijay Varma in prominent roles. It garnered favourable reviews from the audience.
