He revealed that, while it would have been entertaining to include a light-hearted interaction between Ranveer and Deepika’s characters, he decided against it to avoid any unintended offense.

Rohit explained that Ranveer’s character was crafted as a reflection of Lord Hanuman, a revered deity in Hindu mythology known for his loyalty and devotion.

Instead, he chose to focus on the playful dynamic between Ranveer and Akshay Kumar, as this interaction felt more fitting for the storyline without risking religious or cultural sensitivities.

While audiences missed seeing Ranveer and Deepika share screen space in a fun moment, Shetty’s decision highlights his focus on authenticity and sensitivity in storytelling.
