Reportedly, the casting director of film Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, Sanjay Chauhan in an interview said that he could not cast fair and handsome people with Nawazuddin.

To this, Nawaz on Twitter posted, "Thank you for making me realise that I cannot be paired along with the fair and handsome because I’m dark and not good looking, but I never focus on that."

After receiving a lot of backlash, Sanjay now clarified, "I was completely misquoted. All I said was the film needed actors as good as Nawazuddin. You need actors who could match his stature. I don’t know from where the fair and handsome bit came but I never said the words."

"I would never want to hurt Nawaz sir or the film by giving such statements. I haven’t spoken to him yet, but I am deeply saddened by how the comments, which I never made in the first place, have turned out," he added.
