Speaking about his role, Ankit says, “This character of Babu is very close to me, as there is a lot of similarity between me and this character. Therefore, I didn’t have to work hard while playing this character. However, for action scenes, I have taken lot of efforts. Having already learnt Martial arts and Kalaripayattu, it has helped me a lot in these action scenes. While doing a historical character you have weapon in your hands, but for the kind of action scenes in this film, I had to make use of my hands as weapons. But, you need to take care while doing such action scenes. And, I really enjoyed doing them.”

With Ankit his lead actress Ruchira Jadhav was also present in some scenes. This action film will be released soon.
