He also revealed that he was planning on a large scale feature with the actor but he decided to act in the upcoming comedy. “I have loved Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s films and I always wanted to make such movies but Dharma (his production house) has never made a film like that. I went with a big film to Akshay because he is a mega movie star. Akshay’s uniqueness is that he searches for content. He never looks for scale or opulence or who is the director. He is one superstar who has always supported first-time directors and that’s rare for a movie star,” When the actor was questioned about the same, Kumar claimed that when he was offered the feature film, he asked Johar what other projects he was working on, to which, he claimed that he was doing a small film called Good Newwz, and after liking the script the actor decided to go ahead with it.
