Speaking with Mid-Day, Abhishek Bachchan spoke about slipping back into a role after the long lockdown. Talking about how pictures of him from the set in Kolkata went viral, Bachchan said, “The media knew we were shooting in Kolkata. So, the photographers showed up at the venue." The actor mentioned that he would have loved the look to come out the way director Annapurna Ghosh had intended, which was during the film's marketing campaign. The actor added that he is humbled by the praise coming his way. He said, "The reaction was an endorsement that we are doing something right.”
The Ludo actor then opened up about the character of Bos Biswas he is playing. And, revealed the transformation he had to go through to fit in the role. Talking about it, Abhishek Bachchan said, “I believe that if you look the character, half your job is done.

But, after the first day, it didn't feel that we had a nine-month break."
