As per historians, Udaybhan Singh Rathore was a Rajput fortkeeper under Maharaja Jai Singh. In the movie, the dialogue that Saif utters goes like, "Aur main sirf ek Rajput." The sound has been muted here.
During an interview, Saif had talked about his character. "My character is the antagonist. But he just happens to be on the wrong side," he said.
Talking about it, he told Mid-Day, "I'm going by the written word. A chunk of the research has been done by Om, who has done a thorough job. Since it is an action-packed film, I was required to look leaner. I had to be adept in horse riding. The fact that I was coming straight off Navdeep's [Singh] film made it tad easier. The physical prep has been rigorous for this film."

Earlier, Costume Designer of the film Nachiket Barve had talked about what went into coming up with the look for Saif. He said, “As Uday Bhan, Saif plays the role of a Rajput who eventually represents the Mughals. The idea for his Mughal appearance was to make him look menacing, which is in stark contrast with his Rajputana look that has him flaunting colourful attire.”
