Ridhi Dogra got up, close and personal with BL and said, "I don’t think I would have played an old character for any other superstar except for Shah Rukh Khan. Of course, there were insecurities as an actor about what I was doing or if I was making a mistake because it was greedy to be a part of a Shah Rukh Khan film, but is this good for me? Should I even be doing this? Yes, I had those major reservations, and trust me, I was a bag of nerves on set and throughout the whole process of the film."

Ridhi further added that she wasn't insecure about her part in Jawan, "For me, there was no insecurity about being part of Jawan, but just in my small space of where I am as an actor, it did feel like, ‘Ridhi, you are mad to do this’. But was I unsure about the work I was doing? No! I was 100 percent sure of Atlee and his vision; every time I had any doubts, Atlee was always approachable; in fact, he would come and talk to you."
