Speaking about his friendship with Akshay and the things he has learnt from him, Rohit Shetty said, “I know him from the last 27 years. Sooryavanshi released on November 5, and on November 4, 27 years ago, a film released called Suhaag with Ajay and Akshay in it. I was the assistant director in that film. I also played his (Akshay's) duplicate in that film. So for me, to team up with him in Sooryavanshi, is like a dream come true.”
