Further, he called Ranveer a 'lovely' person, stating that while everyone described him as full of energy, he found the actor to be extremely cordial and warm when they first met. Recalling their interaction, Danish shared that when Ranveer saw him after his transformation, everyone on set was amazed by the drastic change. He added that professional actors understand the effort and patience required to carry such heavy prosthetic makeup.

Danish added "He was very cooperative. And after every take, he used to come to me and say, 'Brilliant, sir'. So, there is one brilliant thing which you just say for the heck of saying it. But then, you can actually feel that this appreciation and warmth, he means it. He is such a lovely and cordial person."
