Danish revealed that it took him eight to nine hours to transform into Bade Sahab. He said, “Everyone used to say that Ranveer is full of energy. But when I met him, he was very cordial and warm. When that scene was being filmed, he saw me and everyone on the set was like, ‘Oh my God, what is this?’ Before the makeup, he saw me. Then he saw me after putting on my makeup and everyone said, ‘Ye kya ho gaya?’ They are professional actors. “They know what it takes to wear that much makeup.”
She further spoke about Ranveer as a co-star and said, “He was very cooperative. And after every take, he used to come to me and say, ‘Brilliant, sir’. So, there is a ‘brilliant’ that you just say for the fun of it. But then you can feel this appreciation and warmth… he means it. He is a lovely and cordial person.”
