The director said that he and debutante producer John Abraham were bent on casting a fresh face in the role of a Punjabi cricket player, instead of approaching stars like Shahid or Ranbir Kapoor. &quot;Since the very beginning John and I were sure that we would get a fresh face for the film. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/john-ayushman-team.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 331px; " /> We wanted to bring in a fresh actor who would bring on a smile with his very appearance and I didn&#39;t want any excess baggage that would have to be removed off an established star. &quot;Moreover both John and I like Ayushmann as a person. He was the best choice for the film and audience reaction to him just on the basis of promos is a testimony of that,&quot; Shoojit told PTI. The audience reaction is quite massive for Annu Kapoor as well who, as Dr Chaddha, is seemingly a riot himself in the film. &quot;There are a very few actors who can pull off a character like &#39;Chadha&#39; from Daryaganj, Delhi. A character like this needs to be played quite carefully and Annu Kapoor just fits the bill,&quot; Shoojit said.u00a0
