"Every director loves to work with a great performer. When an actor grabs a character and gets fully involved in the story, it makes it easier for the director to execute his vision. It was good to have all the shortlisted actors on board. Pankaj Tripathi, Rahul Bagga, Anupriya Goenka are brilliant in their performances. Everybody's favourite is Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi), who will be famous as Chuttan Shukla as well from now on. Pankaj Tripathi is a versatile actor. There are many memories of shooting with him. He is very hard working and is a director's actor. It's just the beginning, I will love to take him on board every time as an actor," says director Annant Jaaitpaal.
