Heaping praise on Akshaye Khanna, who played Rahman Dacait in the film, she said: “Working opposite Akshay Khanna was an absolute treat. I’ve always admired him, and I learnt so much on set. I truly feel we make a great pairhoping we get to create that magic again.”
She tagged Ranveer Singh as “pure gold.”
