While he was filming the film, he knew that it was special but wasn’t expecting the kind of reception that it received from the Indian audience.

He said that knowing that people enjoy your work is an incredible feeling. He, especially, got love from the movie-goers and became famous. He finds it crazy to receive such affection and love from Indians, especially girls. He even got marriage proposals. He found Kangana easy to work with. Some of the scenes in the film between them were impromptu. VikasBehl let him express his point of view about the shot and character which gave him freedom to be creative.
