According to Sonakshi Sinha, when she accepted the role in Rowdy Rathore, she was too inexperienced to fully understand the situation. Her primary concern was that she had been offered a film alongside Prabhu Deva and Akshay Kumar. In Rowdy Rathore, there was a sequence in which Akshay's character held Sonakshi by the waist and declared, "Ye mera maal hai (This is my property)". Reminded of the scene, Sonakshi told Film Companion, “Today where I stand, I would never do something like that. I was so young at that time that I was not thinking in this direction. For me, it was a fact that I am doing a film with Prabhu Deva, I am doing a film with Akshay Kumar, who would say no to something like that? Sanjay Leela Bhansali was producing it. Why would I say no? At that time, my thinking was very very different. Today, if I would read a script like that, I would not do it. Things change with time, I too have changed.”
