Ranveer said that film helped in "deconstructing myself in order to transform into a kind of character I’ve never inhabited before". "As Charlie Chaplin once said: ‘To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it’. Jayeshbhai is an unlikely hero, an ordinary man, who ends up doing something extraordinary when he’s hurled into a threatening situation. He is sensitive and compassionate, and believes in equal rights between men and women in a society that is deeply rooted in patriarchal ideals and practices," Ranveer told Hindustan Times.
