I always expected a good response, but not this great. Everyone is liking it," he said.
When asked about how did he prepare himself for the role of ACP Agnel Wilson narrating the crime events in 1979s' Mumbai, he said his experience of 'Risk' came handy. "I did not have to do much for 'Once Upon...' as I had done a lot of research on police and underworld while working for 'Risk'. "Once Upon... was a great opportunity to showcase my talent and the role turned out exactly the way Milan Luthria (movie's director) told me," he said.
On why he was missing during the promotion of the movie, Randeep said it was a conscious decision. "It was a conscious decision. We wanted my character to be surprise package of the movie," he said adding it worked in his favour. "When audience first see me on the screen, we wanted them to say, Oh! is he also in the movie," he said.
