Talking about Azharuddin joining him, Emraan Hashmi said, “I called Azhar up and formally invited him to join us here. Incidentally, we now plan to shoot our cricketing portions when Azhar is here. It is always good to shoot under an expert eye and who better to guide us than the man himself”.

Emraan previously said that he took some cricket lessons from Azharuddin. He said, “When he held my hand to teach me to swing the bat in his trademark style, I was ecstatic. It was special because he is someone I have admired all my life”. Talking about his first meeting with Azharuddin, Emraan said, “Playing Azhar is a huge responsibility. There is still a lot of work left — about 100 days of shoot, but I am not nervous. I am uncomfortable with praise and I thrive on criticism so I am not feeling any pressure. But when I met Azhar for the first time, it was surreal”.
