Sharing about what prompted him to take up the role, Gautam says, "Essentially, the script is superb, and Kundan's writing is masterful. I was particularly impressed by the fluidity of the characters and their arcs. The script delivers a powerful message with a subtle blend of entertainment and humor, which is what drew me to it in the first place."

Giving insights about his character, he says, "The character I'm essaying is an unassuming and selfless man. He's a teacher, inspired by his own childhood teacher. Although there are many professions to choose from, teaching is the one that prepares us for all of them. He left his well-paying job as a bank manager to teach children in rural areas. This noble act by him is what I admire most. He's a middle class person who is passionate about teaching and helping his students become something in life."
