Helmed by Om Raut the film stars Saif Ali Khan in a negative role as Uday Bhan, a Rajput working for Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
Ajay in a recent interview revealed why Saif Ali Khan was perfect for the potrayal of Uday Bhan in the film. He said, “We wanted someone who could emote and depict the character well as he is at loggerheads with Tanaji. We wanted one who’d be wicked and quirky. The idea was to find an actor with gravitas. Saif was perfect for the role. We’ve gotten along well right from our first film, Kacche Dhaage [ 1999] and then, Omkara [ 2006]. We narrated the [ script], and he instantly liked it. Even though we didn’t work together as much as we should have [ in the past], I am glad we collaborated on this film.”
