Ankit also talked a bit about his cast and the entire production team. The actor thanked them all and added that even though he was nervous, everyone supported him a lot. He then mentioned - 

I have had a great start to my career as I got to work with the likes of Richa Chadha, Ajay Devgan, Sharman Joshi, Renuka Shahane and Pulkit Samrat who is still like a brother to me. Fukrey was my very first experience of a film set so I was very nervous, to the point where Ali Fazal who I was sharing the screen with sensed it and talked me out of it....  Again a big production house like Excel entertainment backing the project, they did make my job easy. Right from the director of the film to all the co-actors - they were so kind and never made me feel like a newcomer
