Despite it being a difficult role, the actor said that the script and the clarity provided by the directors helped him in performing the role. "The most important help that came was from the script itself; the way they have woven the script and the story was very clear and indicative and suggestive. At the same time, it was open for an actor to improvise, and allowing that to happen, facilitated the actor to do the things that the actor has been hired for in the first place. I think, what most good directors do is that they hire the right actors knowing that the actor will bring something to the table and that's like 50 percent job done and that is my understanding of casting in this last 1 and 1/2 decade that I am actively in cinema. Apart from that Shivam and Jayprad, they have been extremely gentle and allowed the actors to explore and that is the greater help."
