Talking about Abhay Deol‘s casting, Sanjeev Maurya said that a little well-known actor was required as the show required that kind of support. He then said, “Abhay is the kind of an actor who actually makes you believe. If you pick up any past film, he actually made you believe that character. He never played Abhay Deol anywhere. That’s what I feel. So then I went to Prashant Nair and I said, I feel Abhy is correct one as Abhay is very neutral. Look wise, he’s not those hero type. And we needed someone with a neutral look. And I said, he’s a great performer and I am sure he can make us believe as a South Indian character.” Also Read – Aamir Khan spots a BIG MISTAKE in Lagaan; here are times when stars exposed goof-ups in their big hits

He has depth, he invests and comes up with suggestions but he is always the director’s actor. That’s what the directors told me. The way we wanted, he followed the instructions and gave us that. Yes, he has worked really hard whenever we told him this is the way it has to be, and then he invested a lot into it. He prepared himself mentally and internally and then came on set to shoot. I wasn’t directly in touch with him but the directors were really happy with him.”
