I have been wanting to collaborate with Kartik Aaryan for some years now . And I'm thrilled he wanted to do Dhamaka. Every day Kartik gave his all to the 360 degree system with which I work. His full involvement, his passion, his precise calibration as an actor is something that I hugely respect. It would be great to collaborate with him again because he made my work better.

On working with Mrunal Thakur, Madhvani said, I feel blessed that Mrunal agreed to act in our film as a special appearance . She is the films moral centre and she brings an honesty and a believability to her performance that I have had the privilege of being at the receiving end of as a director . Mrunal is a very rare talent.
On working with Amruta Subhash, Madhvani said, Amruta Subhash is one of those actresses whose performances you remember and note down and say I want to work with this actress . I feel generations to come will remark on her acting prowess .
Kartik Aryan, on his Netflix debut said, Dhamaka has been a very exciting & enriching experience for me as an actor. Working with a maverick like Ram Madhvani has allowed me to explore & showcase a new facet of my personality.
