Speaking to Pinkvilla, Suresh Selvarajan, the art director (who made the machine gun in real life for Animal) opened up about the actor's reaction and spilt beans on the making of the machine gun. He said that Ranbir knew that the machine gun would be huge but he was not expecting it to be a 500 kg machine. He felt "very real" and a while later the actor started talking.

"He knew, but he was not expecting like this. It is not a dummy like a 500 kg machine. That's what he felt very real, and he surprised and dekhne ke thode time baad he started talking actually, but I never thought Sandeep's vision aisa aayega karke because I never thought, I am generally working for last so many years, listening to so many stories this story actually flipped. Aisa story kaisa jaa raha hai (How is this story moving)," said Selvarajan.

When asked about the budget for a 500 kg machine gun, to this, he said that it was a bigger number" and was just asked to make the machine as they needed it. He shared, “Actually, I don’t know how much it is. I know it’s a bigger number. I’ve to be very honest in this with T-Series, Bhadrakali, Bhushan ji (Bhushan Kumar), or Pranay ji (Pranay Reddy Vanga). They told me we needed to make this. Our vision is this, you don’t think about the money. That’s why I got the freedom to make something like this.”
