Arshad Warsi added, "It is light-hearted, with thrill, drama, and greatly written characters. Comedy is one of the most difficult genres there is; one has to have impeccable timing with the punchlines and sense of humour to make it look effortless. But my aim, always, is to get into the character so much that I make you forget who I am. I make you forget what my previous one was, and that works for me. It's always a breeze collaborating with Akshay Kumar. He is a great person at heart. I think that is one of the reasons he just goes on and on and on. Everybody wants to cast him because he is absolutely trouble-free (sic)."
He also mentions that through 'Bachchhan Paandey' he got the opportunity to work with Kriti Sanon. Arshad comments that Kriti Sanon is beautiful, hardworking, and extremely sincere, she is a joy to work with.
