Director Hansal Mehta has said that actor Manoj Bajpayee was difficult to work with. The director-actor duo had worked together in the comedy-drama 'Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar!!' which was released in the year 2000. Mehta said that now when he mentions it to Bajpayee he brushes it off saying he was too young at that time. 

Hansal Mehta was speaking about his experience working with Manoj Bajpayee during his appearance at a year-end roundtable organised by Cinema Express. Hansal said that he enjoys working with people he gets along with and the actors need not be effusive to impress him. "It’s about the connection that you feel. Manoj has major mood swings. We made Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar!! in 2000, and he was a pain in that film,” he recalled.
