Drawing inspiration from the film, the team of Left Right Left has shot a sequence with state level hockey players. The production house preferred them to junior artistes playing the roles. Ghazal Rai aka Pooja in the show had to shoot for a hockey sequence and the production house wanted to give it a realistic feel, so they contacted state level hockey players and their coach for the shoot. Says Persis Singapuria, creative director of LFL, "The show is about the cadets being temporarily suspended and trying to be soldiers in life. In the sequence, Ghazal sees her coach snubbing a girl, so she tries to help the girl by coaching her to play as well as the others." This being the professional players' first time on television, they were naturally very excited. Moreover, the sequence was shot over a period of two days. Says Persis, "We wanted to get the feel of actual players so we didn't want to use junior artistes. We shot with Coach Surinder Pal and nine of his state level players. The girls enjoyed the shoot and were very excited. They were initially very camera shy, yet they did a great job. Team spirit came across very well, thanks to all of these young players." However, Ghazal confirms that she was nervous too, as she was playing with professional players. She says, "I have never played hockey in my life and I learnt so much about the sport from these players. They told me that it's a boring game but were impressed with my grasping power. They taught basic dribbling in no time and were extremely co-operative and patient with me."
