Speaking about his character in the film, Saif said, "My character is an anti-hero. As the director says, he happens to be on the wrong side. Filming this historical has been a fascinating experience. I get to don some amazing costumes and do sword-fighting sequences within the comforts of an air-conditioned floor in Film City’’.
‘’It was opposite to what I had experienced while shooting for Navdeep Singh's Hunter. The revenge saga has heavy action scenes, but I haven't got over it yet. I'm still shaking in the night like a war veteran who comes home, shell-shocked slightly’’, he added.
Apart from this Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, which is based on the life of Rani Laxmibai will also be released. His home production venture helicopter Eela featuring Kajol failed miserably at the box office.
