Now, in a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, when asked about Deepika’s role in the film, Kabir said, “Deepika being the kind of person she is, the kind of actor she is, I think they also try to look at the project as a whole. There is holistic view to the film so its not always about what I am doing or what is my character doing. And I think Deepika looked at it like the kind of film she wants to be associated with and that’s why she is one of our producers.”

He further said, “She has a very significant role. Yes, it might not be in length equal to others but the fact is that it’s a really important role because Romi ji played a very important role in Kapil Dev’s life. There is a reason why the character is there and there is a certain dynamic that Kapil ji and Romi ji have that is very unique and we wanted to show that. I thought that the story would be incomplete if I did not show that.”
