According to newbie Sara, her director is the ‘king of commercial cinema’.

I am a huge Rohit sir fan. I aspire for versatility, and I mean it. I messaged Rohit sir thrice and he responded on the third message. I think he is the king of commercial cinema. So, knowing that Rohit sir and Ranveer Singh were coming together, I had to.

Rohit Shetty had an equally funny response to being asked how he chose Sara.

Nobody approached Sara. She approached us herself. She literally cooked my brain by messaging me so many times. Sara happened because of Gattu (Abhishek Kapoor, director of Sara’s debut film, Kedarnath) because he also called me and asked me to cast Sara! He took the initiative and told me to watch some footage of ‘Kedarnath’ that they had already shot. Then I saw it and called her.

Turns out just like Ranveer, even Sara was super excited to work with Rohit Shetty and worked towards getting her role.
