“When we were shooting that scene, we exchanged no good mornings, goodbyes, or hellos. He was Aurangzeb, and I was Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, and there was no communication as Vicky Kaushal to Akshaye Khanna,” Vicky revealed during an interview with Bollywood Hungama.

Vicky emphasized how the film focuses on Aurangzeb’s relentless pursuit of Sambhaji Maharaj, a mission that lasted nearly a decade. “It took Aurangzeb nine years to find and get hold of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. So, a lot of the film shows his quest to find him. There are some moments together, but the film is about them thriving to meet each other, and that will leave you waiting for that face-off to happen.”
