A lot of attention has been paid to the looks of the characters. While Ranbir sports an active and uber cool look, Sanjay as the Game Master will be seen in a unique look straight out of a video game.

"In my career, I have experimented with many looks, roles and characters, but playing the role of the Game Master was an ultimate experience," says Sanjay while adding "Yahaan paheliyon ka jaal hoga, dher saara maal hoga... hai bheja to le jaa..."

So in the words of Ranbir, "Let's play."
