The producer of the movie Neeraj Pandey was not convinced that the Rustom actor would suit the role well. “Akshay was always the first choice for me and Siddharth. We did face a little bit of friction from the production house on whether he should be on board but we both were always adamant on having him”, Garima was quoted as saying to Inuth.
