I cannot tell you how many people noticed the background in Mukherjee Nagar and asked me where we get such authentic-looking background actors. It's because they are not actors."

I want to thank each one of them, and in particular, Vikas Divyakirti, and his team, Abhishek and Gaurav, for getting them all together and helping us make this film. Not once did any of them ever look into the camera and disturb the shot. They were always on time, 5 am or 5 pm. They were thoroughly professional. As professional as my own crew. I am deeply grateful to them."
