Talking about the film, Pooja recently told news agency ANI, “The film came to me before the lockdown. The tile was different. Earlier, Sajid Nadiadwala was also part of this project and we did Houseful together.

After watching my film Mohenjo Daro, Salman Sir said we will definitely do something together, we will work together. So it fits very well in the film because my character in the film is a Telugu girl’s role. So it was great because I have done a lot of work in Telugu. So it fits beautifully and this film has happened now. And it’s a good thing that I got such an important role in Salman Khan’s film.”

Sharing her experience of working with Salman, the actor said, “I had a great experience working with him. He is real just like you see him in interviews; he is the same on the sets too. Many people think about you but do not speak about what they feel. I like the way Salman sir is so upfront, he says what he feels.”
