Going further in the interview, Geeta Basra shared that it wasn't a cakewalk for Bhajji to dance and say dialogues in Tamil as the language was unfamiliar to him. However, the proud wifey was confident that her husband would outshine onscreen just like his performances on the field. Talking about the same, she said:
“Facing the camera isn’t easy. Sure, cricketers do ad shoots, but that’s different [from acting in a movie]. And films down south are different from Hindi films, even in terms of shooting. Dancing is a whole new ball game too.”
