In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Jimmy Sheirgill recalled fond memories from his shooting diaries of the film and mentioned how he had developed a habit of sleeping in hospital beds, so as to prep for his portrayal of a cancer patient. He mentioned:
“While the Munna Bhai crew was lighting up the location, I would wear my hospital patient costume and doze off on one of the fake hospital beds that was part of set furniture, because I knew that we had to shoot all night long later. And when someone suddenly woke me up, I would instantly go to shoot in that sleep-deprived, dishevelled look.”
