In addition to the plot of the film, which was based on Padma Shri awardee Shahir Sable’s life, audiences were thrilled to the part that highlighted the Marathi folk culture. In the film, Marathi actor Ankush Chaudhari brought to life the character of Shaheer Sable on screen. The actor has received a compliment from Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) founder Sharad Pawar himself.

A special screening was held for Sharad Pawar and his family. After watching the movie, Sharad Pawar said that Ankush had played the legendary Shahir Sable with a lot of conviction, so much so that he completely embodied the persona of his character. The NCP founder said, “The last song started and I completely forgot about Ankush, all I could see was Shaheer Sable.”
