Actor Ashmit Patel was quite happy to work with Jehangir Irroni. He added, “Working with Jehangir Irroni was a pleasure as he understands the importance of creating an ambience and atmosphere that is conducive for one actor to perform at his optimum level by creating the right ambience and atmosphere which is crucial and many people don't understand the importance of it. Especially when you are playing a character who is a terrorist which is very difficult to identify with him in the first place. One must have to go deep into understanding the psyche of the character and give him sort of justification for his actions, he left to do my own thing which was refreshing as he gave me exploration of the character on my own. Looking forward to working with him again and wishing all the best to everyone cheers.”
