Earlier in an Exclusive interview with DNA, Arshad had spoken about working with Akshay on the big screen for the first time in Bachchan Pandey. He had said, “It was just that, the director of the film Farhad (Farhad Samji). He is the person who has written most of the Golmaal series, so he is a writer. He really, really wanted Akshay and me in a film together. In this script he just said, I have to do it, it is great fun.”

Arshad added, “Me personally, I am not just saying it for effect, I am a big fan of Akshay. I don’t think there is any other actor who can pull off comedy as well as Akshay does. He is absolutely hilarious. I think he and me in a film together should be a treat for the audience.”
