He told a leading daily, "After we finalised Amitabh Bachchan for Chehre, we started looking for other actors. I was looking for the second lead and Emraan fit right into the character I had envisioned. Even though I had never worked with him before, I had heard a lot about him in the industry. He is truly like Amit ji when it comes to professionalism- dedicated, hardworking and allows nothing to interfere with his work."

Rumy further added that the Murder actor is very involved in the work he does, and he wanted somebody just like him.

"When I approached him with Chehre, he, too, loved his character and was happy to come on board. Emraan's work has turned out to be even better than I expected," added Jafry.
