When Farhan Akhtar recalled feeling 'stressed' after the film's delays

On the YouTube channel Unfiltered by Samdish, Farhan revealed, "The date for the film’s shooting just kept shifting ahead. It was such a stressful period because I thought that I was wasting time, and before I knew it, two and a half years had gone by. There are some personal insecurities as well. I started feeling that maybe people will think that I wouldn’t be able to direct. It had been 12 years since I had directed a film, and maybe people would doubt my skills. When you sit with a therapist and you tell these things, you start realising where all these things are coming from. Because I didn’t want to say, ‘Let me move on from this film.'"Film is co-written by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti.
