Nagesh Kukunoor has seldom repeated his starcast in his films, though he features himself in some part or the other. With an exception of 'Iqbal', he has made appearances in Hyderabad Blues, Rockford, Teen Deewarein and Hyderabad Blues 2.

But with 'Dor' he has made an exception as he has repeated a good chunk of his cast from 'Iqbal', starting from its lead actor Shreyas Talpade. Apart from Shreyas, the others in the starcast include Girish Karnad [who played a shrewd cricket coach in 'Iqbal'] and Prateeksha Lonkar [who came up with a flawless performance as Shreyas' mother].

Apart from the cast, the crew members who have been repeated are composer duo Salim-Sulaiman, cinematographer Sudeep Chatterjee and executive producer Elahe Hiptoola.
