During the interview, Saif Ali Khan was asked if he instantly accepted the film when he was approached for it. Saif replied by saying that he was always excited to work with new directors even if it was slightly risky. He stated that they could either be very good and change the game, or they could be stale and forgettable.

Saif Ali Khan said that the trick was with the first few meetings where you had to figure out how you were going to gel and some kind of mental rehearsal of how you’ll get along. He then spoke about his decision to play the villain, saying that he was in good space mentally and so he agreed to do the negative role. Saif then talked about what the character of Udaybhan brought to the table.

He said that Udaybhan actually did bring in the glamour because Tanaji was a historical figure and he represents the pride of the Marathas. So, they had to be very careful about the treatment of that. So, for Saif Ali Khan, this character was going to be fun either way.

Saif added that the character had a lot of energy on paper. However, he became sceptical when Om kept talking about CG, as he was a bit conservative about this new technology. He kept feeling that it would not work out and Saif Ali Khan said that in some instances their CG was not that good. But he did add that the 3D and CG team eventually managed to pull off a spectacle.
