Kranti, a peace lover, had to work hard to play such a character.

"We received the script a few days before the shoot, so I went through the script 20 to 30 times and tried to understand Vijay's perspective and his point of view to react in a certain way. I tried to be away from the world for some time. As an actor, it is my responsibility to do full justice to the role. I have dedicated this role to the legend Mr Amitabh Bachchan as he has also played iconic characters with the name Vijay in about 20 of his films," he said.
