In addition, Madhavan said that there are “a lot of nice individuals working in the film business.” “However, I come from the outside. Many individuals have been really helpful to me. Just because of my request, either Amitabh Bachchan or Priyanka Chopra tweeted their support for the movie. “I am appreciative of their affection and respect for me,” Madhavan said.
“I mentioned Rocketry to Shah Rukh Khan sahab when I worked with him in Zero…he remembered it vividly and during one of his birthday parties he asked me about the film’s status and expressed his desire to be a part of the film,” the actor-filmmaker said. “He remembered it vividly and during one of his birthday parties he asked me about the film’s status and expressed his desire to be a part of the film.”

Madhavan explained how the character was cast by saying, “And that’s how he became a part of our film.”
