In Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, Ajay Devgn and Tabu play the roles of lovers who had to part ways years ago. Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar portray the younger versions of Ajay and Tabu. Recently, Neeraj Pandey shared his thoughts on why he chose not to use de-ageing technology for Tabu and Ajay to play their younger selves. In an interaction with News18, Neeraj Pandey said, "We've done that only when it was the need of the story. Unfortunately, de-aging is being overdone now bordering on the abuse of technology. For this particular story, you can't age Ajay and Tabu's characters into 21-year-olds. That would look ridiculous!”

“We were very clear from day one that there would be two different sets of actors to portray two age groups because that fits the story and that, I think, is the beauty of it. People change after 24. Our physical appearance changes," Neeraj Pandey added.
