Nawazuddin who went to National School of Drama was junior to Piyush who also studied there. Nawaz has been a fan of Piyush since then and decided that he would be the best person to help him grasp the right accent.

Nawaz says, “When I was shooting for the movie in Delhi on the 1st day, after I was done with the make up and was getting ready for the shot, I suddenly thought about Piyush Mishra. I knew my character had to have a heavy North Indian accent so I thought I could imitate him to see if it works. Surprisingly, when I started imitating him, it went well with the look and the character. I know him in real life and meet him often as he was my senior in NSD. I have also worked with him in Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) so I have observed him. He is multi-talented and inspires me a lot as an actor. In fact, we would all copy him even when I was in NSD.”
