Devgan, who has also worked with Tabu in films like 'Haqiqat', 'Takshak', 'Drishyam', 'Bhola', 'Golmaal Again' and 'De De Pyar De', made fun of her long filmography.

Asked if he had any doubts about doing a romantic story at a time when action films are the flavor of the season, Devgan said it was important as an actor to "keep doing something different"."I have been trying to do this since the beginning. I did 'Takshak', 'Raincoat', or 'Dil Kya Kare' when no one was doing it. I think it inspired me to move forward. What I learned from those films is helpful to me even today,” he said.

Pandey said that when he entered the industry he wanted to make a love story but it took him 16 years to realize his dream."...Unfortunately, no one wanted to produce it.
