The 34-year-old went through intense physical training and diet changes to prep for the role. Speaking about this the actor said, "It has been challenging to portray a hockey player on screen.

My training sessions with Diljit further strengthened my belief that he’ll do justice to my life's story. His ability as an athlete also impressed me during our training sessions together."
