Radhika Madan revealed that due to Khan's ongoing health struggles, she was informed beforehand that his energy levels might be lower during filming. She shared to Hindustan Times, “I was already informed that his energies are going to be low. We finished shooting in October 2019 and in April 2020, he passed away. He shot the last scene with me.”

Madan remains deeply grateful for the experience. She highlighted Khan's decision to treat her as an equal, despite her being a newcomer to the industry. She added, “Full credit to Irrfan sir for treating me like an equal and not a newcomer, and giving me that respect as a co-star. That was the biggest motivation and it only gave me the confidence to believe in my gut and craft. He really inspired and encouraged me as a professional. I was always his student.”

Irrfan Khan's legacy lives on not only through his incredible body of work but also through the impact he had on his fellow actors.
