By now, you must be aware on what subject, the film revolves around. The film is based on the 1897 Battle of Saragarhi, where an army of 21 Sikhs fought against 10,000 Afghans. Akshay fits into the character of Havildar Ishar Singh and we wonder if anyone else could such an impact that of the Khiladi star.

Also, this is the first time that Pari is seen sharing space with the action star. Speaking of which, she was quoted earlier, “Akshay sir is as excited as any other actor on the set. He is happy to be there and he makes that extra effort to make everyone around him comfortable. I can expect it from the newer boys, but he is a veteran and doesn’t really need to go out of his way to make actresses or crew comfortable and happy, yet he does. So, within the first few days you realise he is a beautiful person.”
