Manoj spoke about his performance in the film, and said, “I was very clear that I do not want to mimic Amit Shah ji. My job as an actor was to portray his persona, which was really tough,” he said. “Amit Shah ji is a very complex character to play because is an enigma. He is considered one of the most successful political strategists of all times and is therefore known as the modern Chanakya. To understand his thinking and to emulate that was very tough," Manoj added.
