Disclosing the news of the collaboration along with an on-set image of Richter, Ayushmann said, "Anek is the biggest film of my career in terms of scale, and Anubhav Sinha is leaving no stone unturned to give the audience a huge big-screen experience with his vision. It is true that Stefan Richter has been roped in for our film. He comes in with a wealth of knowledge and has been an architect for big-scale action movies around the world." 

He added that he would be doing something new in the film courtesy of Ritcher.

"With his craft, the action sequences of Anek will match global standards and give audiences a thrilling visual experience. Anubhav sir and Stefan are making me do something extremely new for me. As an artist, I relish doing different things and constantly explore myself. Anek is taking me on a new journey that I'm enjoying," Ayushmann added.
