Fans and cinema enthusiasts are impressed by the actor’s look and dedication to the role. During a recent promotion of the film, Kaushal remarked that Western filmmakers feel compelled to create movies like Avengers.

The National Award winner expressed that it is a great honor for him to portray the Maratha warrior, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha empire. He described it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an actor and noted the hard work of the entire team on the film. He also mentioned that "Western filmmakers feel compelled to create movies like Avengers because they lack the kind of real superheroes that India has".
In a chat with PTI, Vicky said, "If we look into the history of India, we will find so many superheroes like Sambhaji, Chhatrapati Shivaji that all other superheroes will fail in front of them. It's important to tell such stories and celebrate with people. We are proud of them. It's because of their valour and sacrifice that we are able to live in this beautiful country".

The footage is designed to be thrilling and evocative. Additionally, Akshaye Khanna makes an appearance in a memorable negative role, adding depth to the film’s narrative.
