Sanjay Dutt will play another main character named Ranchordas Pogi. Ranchordas Pogi was a nomad in Gujarat who was employed as an Indian Army Scout during the war of 1971. Pogi was credited for the army's territorial advancement, often finding the enemy just with his knowledge of the terrain. A motion poster was released earlier revealing various characters in the movie.

As far as legends go, Bhuj Attack by Pakistan, known as Operation Chegiz Khan, is known as the ‘Pearl Harbour of India’. Bhuj airstrip was bombed 35 times in 14 days. At that time, Vijay Karnik, with the help of 300 local women rebuilt the airstrip from scratch in three days.
