The film stars Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan, who previously worked together in the 1985 film Gerfater. Talking about working with the two icons of Indian cinema, Nag told Film Companion that he found it “foolish” to give directions about their performances. “I don’t know how to deal with Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan. I always felt very foolish to try to tell them something about their acting or performance. Especially Mr Bachchan. With this film, I started my journey with him. It was the first day of shooting with him. And I was just clueless. I think it’s been a while since I shot anything, almost two years, and then the first person I had to direct was Amitabh Bachchan. I was like, ‘What do I say?’ Maybe, ‘Sir, slow down a bit?’ It sounded silly,” he said.
