In an interaction with SCREEN, Rana revealed that while shooting the Hindi version of the show, he didn\u2019t fully grasp the impact of the curse words he was hurling. However, while dubbing for Telugu, Rana realised how impactful the words were. Speaking about the same, he shared:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cSince it was Hindi, I didn\u2019t understand much of what I said in Part 1. So I thought it was okay. It was worse when I was dubbing it in Telugu. It was like, \u2018Shit! What did I say!\u2019 There\u2019s a very definite attire and thought gone into how they look and think. Till they\u2019re in those clothes, we\u2019re all fine. We\u2019re licensed to do anything.\u201d
