“He is a delight to work with. I’ve never seen a more dedicated actor. We are nothing in front of him. Once he is on set, he will keep rehearsing, keep thinking about the scene. It’s phenomenal,” Devgn revealed during an interview.

The actor went on to add, “I’ve known him since I was a kid. So whatever I had to take away from him, I must’ve taken it back then. It’s imbibed. With him, it’s a different rapport. From childhood, I could tell him whatever I wanted to. It took him two minutes to come on board. One narration and that’s it.”
