Vikrant said, "I did visit Mukherjee Nagar, and other areas adjacent to it. I also went incognito and moved around, blending in with the people there. It wasn’t only about inhabiting these places, and watching the students from afar, a lot of my prep was also focused on ensuring that I got my dialect from Chambal exactly right".

He added, "I also wanted to stay in the apartments where the students live during their preparation months, but unfortunately that could not come to pass. But having the real students with us was such a great experience. The students that you see in the film are not junior artists, they’re actual students preparing for the UPSC examination. They didn’t just help us understand their world better, they contributed in so many ways beyond that. This really did add further authenticity to the story, and you’ll see it when you watch the film. I’m excited that the film will be coming out soon."

12th Fail, a Vidhu Vinod Chopra film, is set to release worldwide on October 27 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. (ANI)
