Kakkar continued, “We were on a big set in Hyderabad, of all the places. And he was supposed to come from Srinagar. He said, ‘Don’t worry, main time pe aa jaunga.’ I said, ‘Kaise ayega tu? Tera flight nahi hai.’ He said, ‘Gaadi mein baith ke aunga na.'” The actor also said, “From Srinagar to Hyderabad in eight hours, according to him. But anyway, he turned up two days late.
