Deepak revealed that while shooting for his first movie Pehla Nasha, he needed Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan to have a special appearance in the film. While Aamir, Shah Rukh Khan, and Saif had assured their support, there was one moment that truly took him by surprise. He disclosed this during an interview with Zoom and said, “There was a moment by which I was really surprised… Shah Rukh (Khan), Saif (Ali Khan) and Aamir (Aamir) were coming.
