The actress revealed that she decided to pick another number out of respect for the Indian cricketing legend. Janhvi said, "When we decided, Sharan Sharma, me, and all of us, what my jersey number should be in the film, we realised that out of respect, '7' should only be Dhoni sir's number, and we should pick another one. Six is supposed to be my lucky number, and hopefully, it is lucky for me.”
She added, "So, Mahima's jersey number is 6, and Dhoni sir's jersey number is 7, and should always be 7. No one should or can take the number 7."
