Sanjay says the layering of his character and the plot was the most exciting part for him.
 
"I have always believed in the passion of newcomers and fresh talent. I observed Aarambhh since he was the assisting Omung during 'Bhoomi'. When he narrated 'Malang' to me, I looked at Sandeep and said I am hooked. 
 
"The layering of my character and the plot, the setting of Varanasi has me most excited about this project," Sanjay said in a statement.
 
After "Bhoomi", this will be Dutt's second film with T-Series and Legend Studios.
