Arjun connected to the character of Bikram whereas Ranveer was thrilled to hear the story from Bala’s point of view. Ranveer connected with Bala’s character, which is more flamboyant, boisterous and outspoken in nature, much like his persona in real. While Bikram’s character is slightly held back, he is in a sense like the angry young man.

When Ali Abbas revealed that he would like them to play the respective roles, Ranveer tried to reason with him that Bala is more him and the audiences have seen and loved him like that.
