Elaborating on his working experience, Zeeshan said, “It is always wonderful to work with an experienced director like Ali Abbas Zafar and I thank Ali and Himanshu Kishan Mehra enough for trusting me for this role. Can’t thank you enough. It was a huge cast. And there was no scope for workshops before shooting. There was no time to get comfortable with the entire cast and crew, which usually happens during workshops.”

Talking about her shooting experience, she said, “But when I reached the set everyone made me very comfortable, I broke the ice with Shahid as well. When the film started there was not enough time for workshops. I met Shahid straight away on the shoot. It was great fun. Between the Delhi and Abu Dhabi schedules it became a running joke that Zeeshan would come with a lot of questions. I was known to ask Shahid a lot of questions, not necessarily that it related to the film, but even simple things like his thoughts on the industry. Overall looking back I can just say the whole experience was a lot of fun.”
