“Given the stature of the film, the music will have to be launched in a big way. We’re giving out some great commercial chartbuster,” Tanuj Garg, CEO, Balaji Motion Pictures says, About the look that the actor will sport in the film, he says: “John (Abraham) plays Manya Surve, wo we have kept his look as authentic as possible. However, the movie is a mix of fact and fiction. Though it has been adapted from a book, some characters have been altered. John will look like a typical, good-looking Maharashtrian gangster.”
Garg adds that viewers will get to see Anil Kapoor in a very fit avatar, “He plays a cop, so there wasn’t much to work on in terms of his looks.” Actor Manoj Bajpayee will also be seen playing a very different role. “We have given him a very retro look.”
Although film is based on a real-life incident, Garg says that the makers have ensured that it is also entertaining for the audience. “The teams has taken creative liberties to make sure that the film doesn’t look very dark and stays commercial.
