When asked about casting the father and son, director Manish Jha reveals, "I couldn't sleep the night before I was to give a script narration to Boman," admits Manish. "But my apprehensions disappeared once I met him. Despite being an established actor, he's extremely down-to-earth."

Talking about his experience of directing the duo, the filmmaker reveals that they got along like a house on fire. "There was never a dull moment on the sets when Boman and Kayoze were there together. The rough cut is testimony to the amount of fun we've had," smiles Jha who is currently editing the film.
