Sushant Singh Rajput: "We wanted an actor who could transform himself into MS. Sushant has given it his best. He has worked tirelessly for eight months to get into the skin of the character. The honesty of his labour shows in the film."
Anupam Kher: "Anupamji portrays the role of Paan Singh Dhoni, MS's father, who had a key influence in the cricketer's life. He met him and the family at their home and spent time with them. It's always a pleasure to work with Anupamji. His childlike enthusiasm both on and off the sets is
amazing."
