Kaushal's first look from the film, which is being produced by Rising Sun Films in collaboration with Kino Work, was revealed in 2019. The actor could be seen donned in Sardar Udham Singh's look in a long grey coat and black hat. He wrote, "Running my fingers through the bullet holes at Jallianwala Baug, little did I realise that I would one day get a chance to re-live and depict the anger and anguish of the lesser-known martyr, revolutionary... SARDAR UDHAM SINGH[sic]." 

On the work front, Vicky will also be seen in films like Sam Bahadur, The Great Indian Family, and Mr Lele.
