"I remember my first day when I had to do a very emotional scene and I had to cry also. Not cry (pauses) but I did cry. I was very nervous because I was like I am doing a Shoojit Sircar film, I am going to get exposed as an actor. I hope he doesn't throw me out of the film and then there will be an article saying, 'Varun Dhawan has been removed from a film because he can't act'" Varun quipped.

Adding to this, Shoojit said, "On that day there were not many people on the sets, but the day the crew and other actors saw the last scene, they were all moved by Varun's performance. It is a beautiful scene. The last scene was shot on the first day."

Regarding his character, Dan, Varun expressed that he was initially apprehensive about the name but when he heard the narration, he was totally convinced. He stated, "When I heard about Dan, the character, I thought the name is so peculiar. It was a new name for me and I was wondering why Dan? And then he said the girl's name is Shuili and I was again shocked. I have never met anyone with this name. But then he [Shoojit] narrated the film and Dan's journey and I felt that this guy could not have been named anything but Dan."
