In an interview with The Express Tribune, Tipu said regarding the film: "I am impressed by the work, not by the name of an actor. It is true both (Jackky and Arshad) are good actors but even if I end up appearing in the same frame with legendary actors like Marlon Brando, Al Pacino or Dilip Kumar I will not let myself become overawed by their presence but will instead try to do what I do best and give my best performance,".{{cite web|author1=Hasan Ansari|title=I try to add a human element to my characters: Adnan Shah Tipu|url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/871058/i|website=The Express Tribune|accessdate=5 January 2016|date=17 April 2015}}
