In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Ridhi Dogra revealed that that she decided to take on the role after Ekta and Rajeev Masand who now serves as the head of the Dharma Cornerstone Agency encouraged her to do so. She was only aware of her scenes which made her a little apprehensive at first. She said.“I didn’t have regrets, but I was very anxious, I’ll be honest.I didn’t know much of the story. If I knew what was in Atlee’s head, I don’t think I would’ve been so anxious. So, I would always go up to him, sit in front of him, and be like, ‘I’m feeling like this’.”

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is basking in the glory of Jawan. Helmed by Atlee, the film has crossed Rs. 500 crore mark at the box office in India.
