What made it more special was that it was Shah Rukh's son's first step into this industry. (5 And me, being a father as well, and having my own kids who want to get into this industry, I understand how important and special it is, you know. And so, when I got the phone call,) they just said that Red Chilli is producing it, and Aryan is directing it, and they want me for the character.I said, I'm doing it. I didn't even want to hear the script. Because this is how our industry is, we're there for each other.”

“ When I worked with Aryan, I can say that he is a name to reckon with. He has his own identity, and I think he's going to surpass all the pressure people expect him to be under, the shadows of his father, but I think he's going to make a name for himself. So it was great working with him” he added.

The show has a series of cameos by the superstars of industries like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ranveer Singh and many more.
