While the actor was not only glad to see Niladri Kumar, he also spoke about his unfulfilled wish of being a sitarist on his blog. In fact, just to enjoy the feel of the sitar, the actor was sitting and holding the musical instrument in style as if he is playing it, on the sets of the film.

Talking about it, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, "And then for the shot a small effort at the sitar myself .. been a while since I held the sitar .. magic .. never learnt how to play one and still have no idea .. but just to pretend that I do is in itself such a feel .. Well someday I shall learn and learn to be at the piano and the classical ragas of our music .. someday .. !!"
