Once in an interview with NDTV, Chetan Bhagat revealed how Sushant Singh Rajput took a massive risk by saying ‘yes’ to his acting debut in Kai Po Che! The writer admitted that no one was ready to make a film on his novel, The 3 Mistakes of My Life. At that time, it was Sushant, who took command of the project. Chetan also recalled his first meeting with Sushant and admitted that he was an introvert but extremely hard-working person. He had said:
"I say, with all the respect to Sushant, I loved him, I owe my career to him, Kai Po Che was not getting made, I was not getting a movie, it started after 3 Idiots, because of whatever happened Sushant saved me. So please, I understand and don’t ever, nobody can really say that I didn’t care for him. He was very driven, very dedicated, very hard working, very sweet. I am very outspoken, I am very besharam, Punjabi types he was a little introverted, that’s, those personality things have had a role you know, I feel."

"I was definitely in the running for ‘Kai Po Che’, the part that eventually went to Sushant. I auditioned and was considered briefly for ‘Milkha’ and there must have been others as well. When I looked at those movies, I know why the casting happened and how incredible those actors have been."
