Tahir said: "It is an absolute honor for me that a filmmaker like Kabir Khan chose to cast me as the legend Sunil Gavaskar. I'm overwhelmed with the love that the film has been getting and how people have taken a keen interest to gauge my on-screen dynamics with Ranveer as we play Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar, respectively, in the film."
