Since the story is set in a wadi ( a middle-class housing society) he and his production team went across Mumbai, hunting for the right wadi, before settling for one in Chembur.
In the process Sarkar realised that he was so distanced from their life, dreams and aspiration and discovered that the relationships there are so different. “The residents of wadis know a lot about their neighbours and feel for their success and failures. They also have this winning streak in them. It is this streak that my lead actors Neil Nitin Mukesh and Deepika Padukone, will reflect,” says Sarkar.
Neil plays a boxer, One Shot Nandu, who fights blindfolded and Deepika, Pinky Palkar, who is blind but has an ambition to win a dance competition. Shooting with the actors playing such characters was not easy. A lot can be attributed to action director Sham Kaushal for getting Neil to fight blindfolded.
