Ranbir Kapoor had earlier opened up on his experience of working with Luv Ranjan in an IANS interview and said, “He has a very different style of working as compared to others; so, it was a very new experience for all of us. We used to be given the script just a few hours before the scene. So, we were left with no choice but to channel our inner superheroes and tackle those 5 pages of monologues with all our might.”
Elaborating on learning monologues for this film, he had further added, “His dialogue writing has musicality, rhythms, and tones. So, he doesn’t like pauses and the sound of breathing in between shots. Even a simple dialogue feels like we’re in the midst of an intense action sequence.”
