In this said scene in Showtime, Superstar Armaan Singh aka Rajeev Khandelwal is expected to be misbehaving with an assistant director onsets and the actor explained that it is something that he has also seen happen in real life too. Deriving the experience and showcasing it in reel life, Rajeev Khandelwal elaborated on this particular scene, “I've heard about this particular actor who does this on the sets and he thinks it is very funny. He has been doing it and there are a lot of AD's who have actually not said anything to him. But they have gone behind his back and said that this is absolutely wrong on his part. It's because one feels like they are a superstar.”

He added, “So, when I had to shoot a scene where I had to throw tantrums and behave in a particular way, I did this, and it was organic. We all loved it and Mihir also thought it fit in. When I saw a glimpse of it, I knew this is not me but this is definitely superstar Armaan, who represents this certain kind of actor."
