While shooting in Jaipur, the actor in between shots or right before wearing the heavy armour would hit the gym so that he can perform effectively and give his best. The actor also wore a traditional headgear of a king. The armour is inspired by the armour worn by the kings during that era. Earlier, last year when the actor went for a hair, make-up and costume trials, the armour was specially designed according to Dutt’s personality.”
