Kapil jokingly prodded Bobby Deol on whether his first director was apprehensive about working with him, considering the towering presence of his father, Dharmendra, and brother, Sunny Deol, in the industry. Bobby chuckled, "Maybe that's why Shekhar Kapur ran away, he was scared." Eventually it was Rajkumar Santoshi who directed 'Barsaat', but Bobby never felt pressured by the legacy of his family. He acknowledged Dharmendra as a legend, and heaped praise on his brother,Sunny, referring to him as a superstar.

Bobby further shared that Shekhar Kapur had departed from the project to helm 'Bandit Queen' after just 27 days of shooting. This sudden departure disrupted the film's production, but the project found its footing again when Rajkumar Santoshi stepped in to take over the directorial reins.
