The casting of the film was excellent. Rajkumar Hirani did the casting for each character very carefully.
A video of Rajkumar Hirani is going viral. In this he is sharing an anecdote related to the casting of the film. He told that he had been postponing the shooting for a small role.
Shooting was postponed for a small character
Rajkumar told- ‘A boy had committed suicide in the film. His father had a small role in the film, that his son has died and he is crying in pain. So I was looking for an old man with a warm face. There will be only two shots in the film but there should be a warm face. You feel for him. We searched all over the city for a warm elderly face for that character. We kept pushing the shooting for a year because it was not right. Then we got tired.
He further told- ‘One day a DVD of a Marathi film was lying on the table. That film was made in the 50s. There was a woman with her 7 year old child. That child was very cute. At that time I was shouting at everyone why we were not able to find it. What happened, are there no people in the city? Then after seeing that photo I said find this child. He must be old now. If the warm face of the child is still there then it will be good for the character. Then we searched for them, and found them. He used to do theater in Pune. He was an old man.
