A leading tabloid quoted a source that said, “The makers were looking for someone who could match Akshay’s comic timing and they narrowed down on Arshad who, over the years, has aced this space. It’s a first time pairing for the actors. His (Arshad) track is integral to the narrative, with multiple shades and a special look.” Reportedly, another actress is yet to be signed for the film.
