Earlier, in an interview with Humans Of Bombay, Bobby Deol talked about how he had to wait so long to begin the shooting of his part, that he almost thought he lost the project. “I waited 1.5 years to shoot the film. The film is 3.5 hours long, so they were shooting with Ranbir for a long time, and during that period, I kept thinking, ‘Are they going to change their mind? Will they suddenly say they don’t need me?’ Those thoughts crossed my mind, but Sandeep Reddy is a sweetheart. I learned sign language for the role. It became a huge success, although I never imagined it would become a cult hit, I had a gut feeling about it”, Bobby said.
