The 'Kaalakaandi' actor recently got on board for the historical drama, confirmed the news to a leading daily. He said, "I respect Ajay and like the way he looks at life. I'm happy to be a part of this huge historical which will be a screen extravaganza, a post- Baahubali kind of experience in 3D. Ajay loves cinema, is a great producer, and this is the right film to make today as it highlights patriotism and heroism. Kids will love it, so will the rest of the country."

Apart from Tanaji biopic, Saif will be next seen in Baazaar as a businessman. He also has 'Hunter' under the pipeline in which he is reported to play the role of a Naga Sadhu.
