Ajay even joked about the washroom issues Deepak had to face while dressed as a lady.
Ajay Devgn on Deepak Dobriyal's washroom struggles
Ajay praised Deepak for playing his role well, making it clear that they do not make fun of his character's transgender identity in the film. He said, "Deepak Dobriyal has played his role very well. We have not made fun of his character; in fact, he even has an emotional arc. He stayed in character during lunch and even went out to dinner with us in Scotland like that."
When Mrunal mentioned that Deepak had issues whenever he needed to use the washroom in character, Ajay elaborated and said, "We had issues when he needed to use the washroom and was dressed as a lady. When I was taking him to the gents' washroom once, a woman came running out of nowhere to tell him he was going into the wrong one. She dragged him to the ladies' washroom, and I had to rescue him, telling her he was a man."
Ajay mentioned that Deepak looked so convincing as a woman that when he went into the men's washroom, a man kept staring and smiling at him. Even on set, a 7-foot-tall man stared at him so much that it left him worried.
