Charan called this role the "the most difficult character I played" of his career, not just emotionally but physically too.
He pushed through a wrist injury during wrestling scenes and even needed stitches above his eye after an action shot.
Still, he credits his father and co-stars for keeping him grounded through it all, saying the experience helped him grow both as an actor and a person.
