Debutant director Behzad Khambata says actor Sunny Deol was his first and only choice for action-thriller Blank. Behzad said in an interview that directing Sunny in his first film was a dream come true moment for him but he was never sure that the veteran actor would say yes to it.

"While we started writing the story and the moment we were building the character of ATS chief we felt someone like Sunny Deol only could have done it. But we did not expect he will be part of the film," Behzad told PTI. It was through director Anthony D'Souza of Azhar fame that Behzad got to meet and narrate the story of Blank to Deol.
