In a recent interview with Mid-Day, the actor candidly revealed how action choreography in India is designed to complement the stardom of its legends, making them appear larger-than-life characters. Randeep was quoted as saying:
“The action is designed around them (Sunny Deol and Salman Khan). They’re both great. When you see them, you feel they can do it… They’re stars before the advent of the internet. They were rare commodities. Now, you know what every star is doing or eating, it’s all available on their social media. They have their persona, and that’s what I was trying to aim for.”
