And Chintu uncle (#RishiKapoor) threw a tantrum about the ending saying, 'How can he die? You have to show hope' and I just had a flight to catch." Abhishek Bachchan also recalled how effortlessly Rishi Kapoor carried his scenes. Remembering a scene, Jr AB said, "I realised there was no difference of Chintu uncle before the camera rolled and when it rolled after. What was his actual coffee mug just became the prop and he just carried on. And I said, 'wow."
