After having played dark and intense characters in his previous projects like Guilty and Class, Call Me Bae comes in as a breath of fresh air for the actor, in fact, Gurfateh also labelled Neel as the least prepared character he has played to date. However, for Neel, Gurfateh portrayed a character very close to his self, allowing him to flourish with ease, drawing instances from his personal experiences. He shares, “Ever since I began my journey, I’ve played some really complex characters, preparing for which involved workshops, exercises, research and training. For Call Me Bae though, my character brief was the simplest, I was told to be myself, which naturally involved no training, so I decided to experiment and opt for the spontaneous and natural route, so in a way, I was the least prepared for the show. I had the most relaxed and enjoyable time shooting for the show.”
