I have a two-year-old daughter who jumped in excited saying, 'Papa, papa.'"
Anand Kumar said that people laughed at him when they discovered that Hrithik Roshan has been zeroed in to portray his character on screen. However, Hrithik told him that he might take a little time to get into the skin of the character and spent hours with him.

But when I met him, he said that this film is very difficult and I will take time to even get into your character. He spoke to me. He sat with me for hours and hours," said Anand Kumar.
