Randeep also had to undergo drastic physical transformation for the project. He had lost excessive weight for the role, which led to a dangerous fall while on horseback. The impact was severe, and he had passed out, while breaking all the ligaments in his knee. Despite these setbacks, he went on to complete the film using his own money. He filmed intense sequences with knee braces on and even had to run in certain scenes. He underwent months of medical treatment and dedicated rehabilitation at Kokilaben Hospital. Randeep has also noted that he has regained enough strength to return to one of his greatest passions – horse riding.
