On being asked how the experience working with Deepika, Hrithik revealed that he was very excited to work with her. He said, “Things became much easier when two performers arrived as actors and focused on interpreting the lines and getting the most out of each scene that was on paper." 

He further revealed, “With Deepika, it became really easy because she brings realism to her work, so I was consciously just bouncing off her bat, each line she says is coming from a deep place and I could tell this is real, and if I don't maintain that I might look like I am overdoing things, so I had to make sure I am acting that frequency. Thanks to her, every scene between Patty and Minni looks so extremely vulnerable, extremely endearing and very, very real."
