Dedication
'He has worked really hard on this project'
Singh further praised Khan's dedication to the project, saying, "He has worked really hard on this project." "From 7 in the morning to 11pm, his energy never dropped." "You never saw him sigh. He was always smiling and so focused." She added that Khan could have easily hired veteran technicians but chose to work with his team of young writers and DOPs (Director of Photography).
Climax secrecy
Cast was kept in dark about climax
Singh also revealed that the cast was kept in the dark about the show's climax until the day of shooting. "We never read the climax. We were narrated the climax on the day of the shoot."
