The veteran actor had to wear the makeup and contact lenses for 13 hours so it became uneasy for him to emote the same emotions several times from various angles. Kapoor also mentioned in an interview with the same publication that it was easy for Alia, Siddharth, and Fawad as they did not have one particular style of working while Rajat and Ratna are from the stage so they could do the same shot many times and yet make it look spontaneous.

However, he was the odd one out and his spontaneity could not be replicated over and over again. He made it clear that while he respects others’ style of working, he is not a method actor.
