Sushant, Rajkummar, and Amit were simply a great fit together as a team and had the right kind of energy that he envisioned for the respective parts. Talking about his association with Sushant Singh Rajput, he said that he never saw any of his previous work before casting him. But Abhishek said Sushant was just fabulous right from the start.

Abhishek further explained that Sushant was an intense actor and used to research his roles well.
