It felt like we were on a picnic because there was no pressure for us to do something brand new.” He also shared how casting Sanjay Dutt as Adheera, was probably one o his best decisions, “Casting Sanjay sir was a no-brainer. We had written (about) him before while scripting for the first chapter, but we didn’t approach him till it became successful,” he said.
