Mohmad Shariq from Hakim Aalim's, who created the braided look, said it used to take close to an hour to braid the actor's hair and attach the plait.?

He revealed, "Sir is so much fun to collaborate with. It would take us close to an hour to braid his hair and also attach the plait. Doing it every day before the shoot was tedious but it was important to give the character the look that was desired.

"Moving on to the attire - the leather boots, trousers, skirt and the latticed metallic half sleeved slip-on weighed close to 25 kgs but the actor made it look easy despite his heavy costume. The closely cut salt and pepper moustache and beard had to be maintained throughout the film's shoot."
