Ahead of the release of The Empire show, actor Dino Morea spoke about his menacing look as the antagonist Shaibani Khan. Talking about his never-before-seen avatar, Dino said, "The look for the show is something director Mitakshara & I worked on. We needed Shaibani Khan to be deadly, and from the feedback, I've been getting, I think we have succeeded. Everyone who has seen the trailer so far has loved Shaibani Khan's look. Comments like savagely sexy to delicious - quite interesting I'd say." The Empire: Shabana Azmi Opens Up About Her Role in Disney+ Hotstar Show, Says ‘Always Wanted to Play a Historical Character’.

Fans are in awe of Dino's look, with many of them finding its resemblance to Khilji, played by Ranveer Singh in 'Padmaavat'. Being compared to Ranveer Singh's character, Dino said, "Khilji is obviously a compliment, Ranveer looked & played that part beautifully." Director Mitakshara talked about her vision for Dino's character, "I feel animals are a great reference point for behaviourism. Their instincts are bang on. And so, I told Dino that he should study a Panther. Regal and subtle, patiently waiting for its prey and they attack without warning. And Dino understood that so well. He has done a great job and justice to the character." The Empire: Drashti Dhami’s First Look From Her Digital Debut Unveiled; Actress Looks Royal in the Disney+ Hotstar Series (Watch Video).
