Sadashiv Rao Bhau, the nephew of the first Peshwa Bajirao, served as the commander-in-chief to the Maratha army at the third battle of Panipat.

Arjun, to essay his role of a brave warrior, invested in more than one new learnings. He extensively learned and practiced horse riding and would often head to Mumbai's Mahalaxmi race course early in the morning for an hour or the two with the horses. Both he and Kriti also learned sword-fighting. Kriti, who plays Sadashiv Rao Bhau's wife, will also be seen performing a couple of intense sword-fighting scenes.
