Speaking about his role in the film, Meezaan said, “Shiva is the complete opposite of Meezaan. He’s a Maharashtrian boy so I had to start with understanding his culture and learning his language. Thankfully, Mangesh sir is a Maharashtrian himself and helped me a lot. Since Shiva lives in a chawl, I visited a few and dressed like the residents, travelled in local trains, would sip chai at tapris, chatting with other customers in Marathi. It was a year-and-half of prep, including several workshops and readings.”

Meezaan was studying business in New York and harboured a keen interest in direction. He went on to assist Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Padmaavat and eventually landed a film with his production house. Sharing his parent’s reaction to his Bollywood debut Meezaan added, “Mom started crying while dad was really happy and proud. My mother told me this, as my family doesn’t believe in praising me much as they are afraid it will go to my head. Dad keeps telling me to stay humble, true to my roots and treat everyone equally.” Meezan’s grandfather has been a constant supported, the star kid added, “I discuss the craft more with my grandfather (veteran actor Jagdeep) who, having worked with Guru Dutt, Bimal Roy and Mehboob Khan, among others, tells me how these filmmakers thought an actor and a director should behave. That helps me understand how I should conduct myself.”
