He recalled the moments when he received a message from Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director, saying he was interested in seeing him. Bobby began to wonder if that was really him or if someone was making fun of him as a result. Bobby continued by saying that he later discovered it was actually Sandeep.

“Maine kaha yaar phone lagao fatafat. Phone lagaya and maine bola chalo milte hain. We met and mujhe yeh aakar ek photograph dikhate hain (I asked to meet and called him right away. He showed me a picture when we first met),” the Badal actor added.

The actor said that the filmmaker had shown him a picture from his days of playing Celebrity Cricket League when he didn't have plenty of work to do. He stated, "Toh vahaan ek photo kheechi gayi thi jahaan main door kahin dekh raha hoon. Toh unhone mujhe dikhayi aur kaha main aapko issi liye lena chahta hoon kyuki aapki yeh jo photograpgh hai, isme jo aapka expression hai, voh mujhe chahiye. I said chalo bekaari ke din kaam aagaye." (He had a picture of me from my days playing in the Celebrity Cricket League, back when I wasn't working as such. He informed me that he wanted me to be in the movie because of the expression I had in the picture. I believed that having good jobless days was also beneficial.)
