It Was Arjun Kapoor Who Persuaded Boney Kapoor To Take Up The Role

The producer revealed that initially, he had turned down the film because he was busy with his production ventures. After scouting for other actors, Luv Ranjan came back to him with the role as he was confident that Boney was perfect for the role. Further, Boney's actor-son Arjun Kapoor persuaded him to take up the role.

"Luv insisted I do the role. He reached out to Arjun, who persuaded me for it. While the team will be shooting at a stretch in Delhi, they have given me the liberty to fly down to Mumbai and attend to my productions," Boney was quoted as saying by the tabloid.
