John spoke about his character in the film

John mentioned to PTI that, "The last time I was doing comedy was in Welcome Back. In Pagalpanti you'll see my body language and everything else and you'll realise it's not the same John. There will be a visible change, I've tried to improve in the genre by leaps and bounds. That's what my director told me. I believe it's very important to improve. Cinema is about entertainment and if I can do a convincing job by making people laugh, it is amazing. I am excited for the film."
