Rumi expressed his joy at the chance to perform action sequences and also highlighted the exciting moments during the shoot. "While shooting the climax, Ravi Varma, our action director used huge big booms to create a big blast; they don’t want much VFX in the film to keep it real," he said. He added, "Hence, during the shot blast, I was just 6 feet away from that blast. I literally crossed the fire, and I felt that my back had caught fire, and it was such a scary moment." 

Rumi credited director Anil Sharma for providing creative freedom and guidance to ensure the authenticity of his character portrayal. The actor praised Sharma's directorial style and talked about the supportive and collaborative atmosphere on set.
