During a segment with IMDb, Vicky Kaushal shared details about his intense prep for his role in Laxman Utekar's Chhaava. The actor said, "I think for me, Chhaava has been the most physically challenging film that I have ever done to date. From putting on 25 kgs of weight to undergoing rigorous, continuous training for about a year, including horse riding, and word fighting, I can't even count the number of action sequences in the film."
He further recalled shooting 'massive crowd scenes' with around 2,000 people, 100 horses and elephants. For him, the most challenging part was to work on the physicality and action sequences.
