In an official statement, Sanjay said, “One of the reasons Nana Patekar’s character gets backstabbed in the series is my character. When you watch it, you will understand.” Further expressing his delight at being considered for the part, Sanjay stated, “Most importantly, when Prakash ji called me for this role and narrated part of the story, that itself was such a happy moment for me. The fact that Prakash ji considered me for this show, and for me that was enough. As that phrase goes in English, it was on my bucket list to work with Prakash Jha. The way I know and perceived him, I never thought I would get a chance to work with him. It's been an honour.”
