In a recent interview, comedian Rajiv Thakur revealed that it was popular comedian Kapil Sharma who encouraged him to take up the role in IC814 as he was about to turn down Anubhav Sinha’s offer, citing scheduling issues.
While praising the humility and hospitality of the people of Punjab, Aamir asserted, “After spending those two and a half months in Punjab, I understood the power of 'Namaste' (gesturing with folded hands). It's such a wonderful emotion."
Kapil Sharma said, "It is a word that we use casually with our children, and siblings call each other 'paagal' with fun. I sometimes think we're moving backward."
