Paresh Rawal, who has worked with both Akshay and Priyadarshan, talked about their reunion. He told PTI about Akshay, “It was a lot of fun to be back. You look forward to certain things in life. Sometimes, when you work with such good people, your journey is very good. This kind of company increases your haemoglobin. Your health improves.” He also spoke about Priyadarshan and said, “I have seen very few directors like him. If he says that he will finish the shoot in 10 days, then the shoot will be over in nine days. He is a director with that kind of clarity.”
