He elaborated that during that period, Sushant seemed to be grappling with challenges. Despite his evident mental and physical resilience, he appeared isolated and adrift, as if he were losing his direction.

The filmmaker also remembered how Sushant’s dedication to his work, particularly shooting in freezing conditions, served as an inspiration to Sara Ali Khan.

He set a condition for Sushant to transform his physique to resemble that of an American actor, as the role required him to portray a cricketer.

Eventually, he successfully transformed his appearance to fit the role.
