Speaking of the pushback, Akhtar recalled how Shah Rukh Khan had encountered criticism when he took the part that had previously been held by Amitabh Bachchan. Akhtar emphasized the significance of an actor giving a role their all while expressing faith in Singh’s ability to do so.
Filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, while speaking to BBC Asian Network, said, “Ranveer is amazing. He’s great for the part. He’s also, as you can imagine, really excited and really nervous, about the thing. You’re filling some big shoes before you. But we went through the same emotional process when Shah Rukh did it and everyone was like ‘Oh my God, how can you replace Mr Bachchan?.’That whole thing happened then.”
He also added, “It really is about an actor coming in and owning that part and making it really like, giving it their style and their flair. And he has that, he has that in spades. So, he is going to do a great job. I think the responsibility is more mine now to make sure that the script and the film work out the way I imagine,”
