"Why should we compare with only the last big hit, like ‘Dangal’, ‘Sultan’ which are much bigger hits than perhaps this film can ever be. We know that. That comparison from outside, very good. From inside, we know the truth that there is a limit it will go to and if it reaches we will be happy," he said. The film also marks the Bollywood debut of Pakistani actor Mahira Khan, whose performance has been hailed despite the on-going ban on Pakistani artistes in India. Apart from SRK, the film also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sunny Leone, who happen to share screen space with the 51-year-old actor for the first time.
