Action directors are coming from different parts of the country for the action sequences in the film. Some people said it would be a remake of the South Indian films. Subhrajit defended the film and said, “This will not be a remake. It will not be something like RRR. The film is based on lots of research. The training will follow Dhanurbed Sanhita. British and Mughal rulers destroyed the Indian martial arts. I will bring it back in my film. The world-famous director Kurosawa is my inspiration.”

Subhrajit posted the shooting's photo with clapstick. He wrote in the caption, “The battle started.” The team will go to Purulia on January 28. The majority of the shooting will take place there.
