The movie which previously premiered at the Toronto Film Festival has been praised critically for its gripping storyline and intense action sequences. Former high school wrestling champion Lakshya went on a transformative journey to portray the role of an elite commando in this action-packed movie.

This intense preparation not only shaped him into a versatile actor but also highlighted his commitment to authentically embodying the role. Reflecting on his journey, Lakshya emphasized, "Throughout this journey when I was like 17 – 18, I started off as a wrestler. I did a couple of wrestling during my school days and during this film as well we trained for eight or nine months consecutively. So of course, like a lot of training has gone into it."
