Deccan Chronicle that the entire cast and crew of the film is looking forward to his return: "We are all looking forward to Irrfan's return."
The director also shared his experience of working with the actor and said: "Irrfan's performance in
Karwaan is expectedly outstanding. Working with him was a dream come true. I was intimidated at first but by the third or fourth day we had a great rapport and then on it was very comfortable and amazing," Akarsh Khurana was quoted as
Deccan Chronicle as saying.
The film also stars South actor Dulquer Salmaan and Mithila Palkar, who will make their Bollywood debuts with this film. Irrfan could not do his promotional duties for his last release
