Sources reveal that Dutt’s UK visa was rejected due to his 1993 arrest, derailing his plans to shoot in London. Enter Ravi Kishan, who got a call from Ajay Devgn himself.
“I was stressed,” Ravi admitted at the trailer launch, “Sanjay Dutt is a cult icon, and filling his shoes was no joke!” But with Ajay’s trust, Ravi grabbed the chance to play a fiery Sardaar villain, adding his own masala to the role.
