Vicky played the role of the renowned Indian military hero Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in this film. While Pakistan and India were at war in 1971 for the liberation of Bangladesh, he oversaw the Indian army as its chief. In the film, Sanya Malhotra plays Manekshaw's wife Silloo and Fatima Sana Shaikh portrays Indira Gandhi.

In order to capture the physique and cavalry skill of Manekshaw, Vicky Kaushal reportedly undertook a hard training regimen, gaining 15 kg of muscle and learning how to ride a horse well.
