In an interview with India Today, the filmmaker praised Shah Rukh Khan and said, “I think all my heroes are great players. But Shah Rukh sir, he’s also into sports—KKR. He’s an inspiration for me, basically. He’s into cinema, he plans for a film, he’s in a shooting schedule, and parallelly he has some time for his coach, his team, and his planning. So I got inspired by him. That’s why I called him my partner.”
