Barjatya said he is a bit “nervous” as the shooting for the film approaches. "I’ve had this nervousness before the shoot of every film. This has been there even when I made my first film, ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’; it's still the same. As a creator, it's not about how much box office it will do, it's about whether you’re able to connect or not, with that thought or scene."
