After Dishoom, in an interview to BollywoodLife, Akshaye mentioned how he is taking baby steps. He had said, "One has to understand that in any business, you have to earn your stripes. You cannot become the captain of a ship on the first day of work. You have to work your way up to that level, that comes with time. Similarly, in any profession you cannot demand success, you cannot demand respect…you have to earn it." 

Not only Akshay Khanna but Anupam Kher also going to see in the lead role in this film. Anupam Kher will play the role of former Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh. On the other side, Akshaye Khanna has been selected to play Sanjaya Baru.
