In teasers and promotional videos, we get to see Nawazuddin and Surveen indulging in banter that is snarky, sarcastic as well as funny. The best part about their relationship is that Surveen’s character Jojo that had only a fleeting appearance in season one id not afraid of Gaitonde’s devilry and evil. Talking about Jojo’s uninhibited persona, Nawazuddin said, “Jojo's characters gives Gaitonde a kick. When a person becomes powerful after undergoing a lot of struggle, he wants somebody to challenge him, to be unaffected by his power. Jojo gives that punch, that kick to him.”

Surveen also had some interesting take on their relationship in the series. She said, “I enjoyed imagining how Nawaz would say the lines. We mostly have a phone relation and it was enjoyable. Gaitonde ko naa sunne ki aadat nahi hai. Ye ek hi insaan hai jo naa bolti hai aur sar chhad ka naa bolti hai. . She is someone who has a very strong mind of her own. Nawazuddin get a kick out of interacting with Jojo and the banter. The challenging aspect for Jojo is that it's (the relationship) is something that she is longing for, she wants it, yet she doesn't want it and is in the denial. It's quite confusing where she stands in life because of the kind of experiences she has in the past that has brought her where she is.”
