Ayushmann Khurrana, who has dubbed in female's voice as well for the movie, said in an interview with mid-day: "I had to deliver 25 per cent of my dialogues in a woman's voice. Since I come from a radio background, it's easier for me to modulate my voice. I have spent years behind the mic, mimicking different people. Raaj had given me the references of a few men, who prank people by talking like a woman. I studied those videos extensively."
Nushrat Bharucha, who also plays a pivotal role in Dream Girl, said in an interview with IANS: "I like this quirky comedy space a lot. Ayushmann is of course really good at picking these kind of films. I am really blessed being part of 'Dream Girl' because that film's script is really funny and quirky."

Talking about the cast, Manjot Singh, who was last seen in Fukrey 2, will be playing Ayushmann's friend in the film.
Talking about the same, Manjot said in a media interaction: "I am thrilled to work with Ayushmann and director Raaj Shaandilyaa. It is one of the funniest scripts I have read in a while and the journey has been super fun."
