In a conversation with News 18, Akshay Oberoi recalled doing small roles with Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor in Piku and Thar. "Deepika and I worked in Piku and I featured in a tiny role. With AK sir, I have done Thar – again, it was a two-minute role. ,They’ve seen me kind of slowly climb up. And here, I now have this big full-fledged role in this big mega-budget movie.”
Talking about one piece of advice by Anil Kapoor that stayed with him was to never take a break. “He said, ‘you have to like keep working till the end of time. Ugly, bad, nice, very good – whatever it is, never take a break. The day you walk away from the industry for even a little bit or you drop a project, people start to forget you very fast. Even when you’re Anil Kapoor or Amitabh Bachchan’. It really stayed with me.” said Oberoi.
