Warsi said, "I like to improvise on my character a lot. On the first day of the Golmaal shot, Ajay Devgn asked me whether you will be able to improvise your character."
When Arshad said yes, the Singham star jokingly said, "It's not for you but for me."

Throwing more light about his digital debut, Warsi said, "When I first saw the script, it was intense, it was gripping, it was exciting. It had a beautiful flow to it. It dad all the suspense and thrills that are required in a web series of this space. And I had never done something like this. I just said I got to try this."
When asked which was the most difficult scene for him in the web series, he said, "There was one scene where I am looking at the laptop and saw my wife being killed. It was a one-shot sequence. That was difficult to execute."
