Director Shoojit Sircar, best known for his films like Vicky Donor, Piku and Pink, was all praise for his actress Banita Sandhu. In an interview with a leading daily, he said, “Everyone was in awe of Banita after the gum commercial that I directed. While shooting for the ad film, I clicked a picture of Banita and sent it to Juhi Chaturvedi (writer) saying 'She has the potential to fit into the character that we are creating’.” In fact, Banita Sandhu was the very first girl they approached to play the part. This was after the script was locked in and Varun Dhawan too was on board. “We were sure that she was the girl we should approach. My casting director (Jogi Malang) also knew that she was the right person for this character. Her performance in the film is captivating. I am sure that October will be a milestone in her career.” (ALSO READ: October Trailer: Is Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhu's Surreal Love Story Inspired By This 2002 Spanish Movie?)
