At the trailer launch of the film, when asked about Ayushmann's casting, director Rohan Sippy said, "I watched 'Vicky Donor' and I liked it a lot. Whenever I see someone doing good work, I make it a point to personally congratulate them.
So when we met, the topic got out casually. It was a lot of fun making this film. I find his dialogue delivery very good. It's only his second film and am sure he will grow with every film."
'Nautanki Saala!', starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Pooja Salvi, Gaelyn Mendonca, Evelyn Sharma and Sanjeev Bhatt, is directed by Rohan Sippy and is set to release on April 12, 2013.
