Earlier, at an event, Junaid Khan disclosed to the media how portraying a character vastly different from his own was both a challenging and fulfilling experience.
He expressed, “I was somewhat taken aback that they wanted me because I felt my personality was so dissimilar to the character. I questioned if he was certain he wanted me for the role. I wouldn’t cast myself in this part, but Advait (Chandan) and Madhu (Mantena) sir seemed quite confident.”
