During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sara Ali Khan opened up about juggling between two projects, Murder Mubarak and Ae Watan Mere Watan. Talking about working with director Homi Adajania for Murder Mubarak and how the film came to her at a crucial point in her career, she said, "It was so amazing to work with Homi Adajania and this cast because I got to discover so much about myself. I also think this film came to me at an important time in my life when it was very important for me to understand, unlearn."

Further adding about how the film offered her a character that she hadn't played earlier, she said, “I think I am quite comfortable, and I find these rooted characters that I have played and gotten love for before quite intrinsic to the person that I am. I haven’t maybe played an urban, glamorous character before. It was interesting to be able to do something like that because one has done slightly rooted characters before."

Talking about how playing two different characters at the same time was tricky, Sara said, "They have nothing in common, not even me. It was very important for us to not come with any preconceived notions because this world, this set-up, this character is new to anything I have done before. It was important for me to come in there, trust him, trust myself, and follow my instincts as opposed to anything I have done previously. But juggling this and Ae Watan Mere Watan was definitely tricky.”
