While speaking to News18, Siddhant said, "Adi sir (Aditya Chopra) had seen Gully Boy and I remember he called me and said, 'tu toh hero hai (you're a hero),' and I told him, 'toh bana do hero (then make me a hero).' And that's how I was offered the film and I heard the script and signed it."

He further added that he was a bit hesitant about doing Bunty Aur Babli 2, because no one had seen his comic timing.

"I have grown up watching Govinda sir, Salman (Khan) sir, Shah Rukh (Khan) sir, so I am a hardcore Bollywood fan. So I wrote a diary for this character, where I wrote about the character. I also recorded the voice with some background music. So I auditioned after signing the film as I really wanted to impress Adi sir. When I saw my preparation, he found it really amazing," said Chaturvedi.
