He also talked about how Amar Kaushik, the director of Stree 2, gently brought up the fact that he was still portraying Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the former prime minister of India. The actor recalled that after wrapping up filming for Atal, he was on the set of Stree 2 the following day.

¡°On the first day after my shot, Amar Kaushik came to me and whispered in my ears, ¡®Atal ji lag rahe hai!¡¯ (You look like Atal ji). I told him what do I do now, I had just finished the film in Delhi last night. So he gave me a day off and asked me to watch Stree and chill. I said de de chutti, I want this!¡±
