Talking about his role as Nana Fadnavis, Govind says, "I'm playing a historical role of Nana Fadnavis, who was a strong and wise person during the Peshwa reign. He is an advisor of the king who advises and guides him on running the kingdom and helps to take wise decisions. It is a very complex character."

The actor also talked about the opportunity of getting versatile roles in the OTT space and shared, "There's a lot of liberty on OTT as it welcomes all good subjects. Also, there is no fear of box office collection so filmmakers can easily experiment with new content. If the content is made with a good intention it definitely works well on OTT. And there is a plethora of work for those who know their skills very well whether it is actors, filmmakers, DOP or any other."
