Discussing Ranbir Kapoor's reaction to the formidable machine gun, Suresh Selvarajan unveiled some of the intricacies involved in its creation. "First, we made the whole in a wooden shape, a lifetime model. We made it in wood because we can't make any alterations to this; we can't correct anything in it. We made the entire model in wood, and during the measurement process, even in its wooden form, it looked like a beast."

Further elaborating on Ranbir's response, Selvarajan shared, "He knew, but he was not expecting something like this. It's not a dummy; it's a real 500 KG machine. He felt it was very real, and he was surprised. After watching it for a while, he started talking about it. I never thought Sandeep's vision would come out like this because I've been working for so many years, listening to so many stories, and this story flipped. The narrative of this story is unique."

The meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating the wooden model laid the foundation for the impressive prop, exceeding expectations even for seasoned professionals in the industry.
