The actor, who stars alongside actor Sachin Khedekar in the film about a man who is stagnated in his life and is shown the way to live by a visually impaired man, says he suggested the change in his role a minute before filming began.

“I suggested to the director that my role be turned into that of a blind man. I felt that the man has a lot to say, but I did not want it to look preachy. It’s a blind man talking about vision,” says Kher.
