You can see it in any of his films. Also he is a wonderful person. Secondly, when the script was ready, we found an actor who We needed someone whose personality matched that of Sambhaji Maharaj. That personality and that physicality only Vicky has from the younger cast. So I thought he would be a perfect casting for Sambhaji Maharaj,” said Laxman.
Utekar also shared details about Vicky Kaushal’s preparation for the film. “We will start shooting in September. We are already in pre-production, and started prepping two months back. Vicky’s training is going on as he has to put on weight and go beyond 100 kg. He is taking training in horse riding and fencing. That’s why complete training is going on.
