Recalling his first interactions with director Aditya Dhar, he said at News 18 India’s award ceremony, “Pata toh tha, lekin jab mujhe narrate kiya, one line sunayi Aditya Dhar ne…uske baad mujhe bound script bejhi. Jab maine 2-3 baar padhi, padhne ke baad mujhe ehsaas hua ki ye badi tense film, tense hi nahi intense film hai. Phir mujhe laga, as an actor kyunki mera comedy me inclination… minds towards humour hota hai, toh maine Aditya ko kaha ki mujhe aise pockets nazar aa rahe hai, jahan par hum thodha sa humour sprinkle kar sakte hai. Toh main thodha koshish karu? Toh unhone kaha, ‘Rakesh ji, aisa kehna mushkil hai. Lekin aage dekhte hai kya hota hai. Ab karte karte jaise aayega.'"

The actor revealed that Dhar was initially hesitant about introducing comic moments into the intense narrative. However, as filming progressed, both of them began enjoying the experimentation. “Toh shuru shuru me vo thodhe reluctant the, par badme unko bhi maja aane laga aur mujhe bhi maja aane laga," Bedi shared. When asked to point out a specific instance where he contributed to the humour in the film, the actor immediately referred to one of the movie's most talked-about dialogues: “Your buttocks are very white". The line, delivered while referring to ducks in a scene, quickly became a memorable moment for audiences.
