He is doing four different stories in this film and I am part of one of them. In my story, my character Major Dev Pratap Singh imparts a few life experiences to Dulquer's character Rudra on relationships. It doesn't have anything more to do with the army so I didn't have to do any army-style preparations.”
Interestingly, Dino Morea made his debut in Tamil with Kandukondein Kandukondein, which has Dulquer’s dad Mamootty playing the lead role.
