Working on Dutt has been amazing because of Rajkumar Hirani, Abhijat Joshi’s writing and because of Ranbir Kapoor’s acting.” Adding about playing a legendary actor on screen, he said, “Fortunately, I am playing a character which doesn’t have a set mannerism, idiosyncrasy. He was very human. He didn’t have any (air) about his stardom.”
