Kapoor said that Rajiv was extremely happy to be a part of the film. He had asked him specifically to be sober throughout the shooting of the film and he did. "He didn’t touch alcohol during the entire spell. He was excited that he’d now be getting good character roles. But he couldn’t see it release! Magar woh jahan kahan hoga… he will be happy to see himself on screen,” he had said.
