Gowtam is somebody who is a man of very few words, even if he likes something - I know it but not everyone can say it - I can see it on his face when he likes something. He doesn’t say much, but when Gowtam told me how happy he was with the output of the Hindi version, I already can imagine how brilliantly it would have come out.” 

Nani also said that he firmly believes that Shahid will exceed him with the Hindi remake, “Hundred per cent. I think he will do it better. He is a brilliant performer and can really get into the skin of the character”, he added.
