In the film, Jitendra Kumar steps into the role.Speaking to The Indian Express's SCREEN, Singh framed the casting change as part of the creative process.
"I think the beauty about a make-believe world or doing something creative and fiction is that as an artiste, one always needs to have choices, right? As creators, as actors, what's the one thing that we all desperately want? It's to have choices and to be able to make that choice.
