In an interview with ANI, Om opened up about his experience working with Manoj.

Om Raut said, "We want to tell the story of our heroes all over the world. When we went to Manoj ji and showed him the drafts, he really liked our approach. He is such a big artist. I am no one to talk about him...his acting and his commitment speak a lot. In fact, yesterday, Manoj, Inspector Zende and I were all together. We showed some scenes of the film to Inspector Zende and he was in complete awe. He said, 'Manoj is looking just like me'. So, I don't think there can be a bigger compliment than this. There can't be a bigger certificate than this. We made a film on him.We made a film on his bravery and his story."
