Earlier, at an event, Junaid Khan had revealed to the media how playing a role so different from his own personality was a challenging yet rewarding experience.
He shared, “I was a bit surprised that they wanted me because I felt like my personality was so far away from the character. I asked him if he was sure he wanted me to play the role. I wouldn’t be casting me in this part, but Advait (Chandan) and Madhu (Mantena) sir seemed pretty confident.”
