Vedant Sharma Recalls A Heartfelt Moment On Set
Vedant Sharma, who played the role of Bantu in the film, shared one emotional memory involving choreographer Vijay Ganguly during an intense dance shoot preparation.
“There was a moment with our choreographer, Vijay Ganguly Sir, where he was getting very stressed about a big dance shoot scheduled for the next day. Seeing him so worried, I went up to him, gave him a warm hug from behind, and comforted him. I told him, ‘This is not even a problem, Sir. What we go through in life is much more. Don’t worry, sir, sab ho jayega.’ He instantly heaved a huge sigh of relief.”
His words reflect the emotional warmth and positivity that reportedly shaped the atmosphere throughout the film’s shoot.
“It Felt Like One Big Family”
Sharing how the bond between the cast extended beyond the cameras, Samvit Desai, who essays Kareem in the film, revealed that the experience often felt more like a joyful family gathering than work.
“We were together for almost two years playing basketball, doing workshops, celebrating birthdays, and partying. It was like one big family. Everyone was so helpful, and there was absolutely no competition or jealousy among us.”
He further added that even their families eventually became close friends, making the journey even more memorable.
Basketball, Friendship And Endless Masti
Rishabh Jain, who portrays Raju, recalled the excitement of stepping into the basketball stadium wearing the team’s yellow jerseys.
“My absolute favorite moment was when we were all wearing our yellow jerseys. I couldn’t believe we were an actual team, walking out into a massive basketball stadium with the crowd cheering for us. It felt surreal.”
Beyond the emotional scenes and sports sequences, the actors also remembered spending time together in vanity vans, joking around, playing games, and building genuine friendships off-camera.
The Film’s Energy Left A Lasting Impact
Naman Misra, who essays Hargovind, shared how the atmosphere on set was filled with positivity and excitement every day.
“To be very honest, it never felt like work. It was 100% pure masti, pure enjoyment, lots of happiness, love, and so much energy. I fell in love with basketball because it’s such a fast-paced and intense sport.”
Meanwhile, Aroush Datta, known for playing Satbir, reflected on how deeply relatable the film felt to him personally.
