The film has sparked significant interest among audiences.

According to insiders, the film will feature three formidable villains, with Chirag Jani identified as the primary antagonist.
Discussing the casting choice of Chirag Jani, director Mohan G remarked, “Chirag embodies Mohammad Bin Tughlaq, not merely as a villain, but as a complex ruler whose intelligence often conflicted with the repercussions of his decisions. I sought an actor capable of merging physical stature with intellectual depth. History refers to Tughlaq as an ‘intelligent fool,’ and to portray that duality demands exceptional skill. Chirag has fully immersed himself in the role, infusing it with menace, dignity, strategic thinking, and emotional resonance. He doesn’t just play the character; he lives it, elevating the film's overall presence.”
