Ravi Kishan, who also essayed the role of one of the miners, along with Akshay Kumar who played their supervisor Jaswant Gill, recalled his memories associated with the film. He said, “I have worked in over 700 films and been directed by so many filmmakers, but this was a role I never played so it got me really excited. I had to understand how they approach death everyday in their lives. I am claustrophobic in real life so I often wondered how they manage to go 350 feet below and survive in such little oxygen,” added Ravi who believed that his role in this 2023 survival drama was quite challenging.

In the same breath, he appreciated Akshay as the star and shared, “He has grown in all aspects of life - in fitness, acting, discipline. I've seen him through phases in his life and he's really changed himself as an artist. He proved himself time and again and has become such a big star. There's a lot to learn from him.”

He also went on to add a key lesson he learnt from shooting this film, “Nowadays, people have become very indifferent. They see something bad happen in front of them, like a fight, an incident or even murder, it's surprising that the crowd standing around start making videos in their mobiles, rather than helping or doing something about the situation. But our unsung hero Jaswant Singh Gill went almost 300 ft. underground to save the life of the miners. He could have left the people to die but he didn't bother about his own life, instead tried to rescue the victims”, the actor added further showcasing the sharp contrast in generations.
