Sanjay Dutt told, “They did everything they could to make me comfortable. They suggested we shoot it against a green screen. But as an actor, shooting this film correctly was important to me. We had a grand vision for it. The climax had to be mounted on a large scale. It was a difficult climax — there was mud, dust, fire and a lot of action. I couldn’t have done that shoot without their help.”
He added, “I am back with renewed enthusiasm. It doesn’t take me down. I got by, thanks to my fans’ prayers.”
Further, Sanjay Dutt also spoke about bringing the larger than life character like Adheera in KGF Chapter 2, he told, “When you are handed such a strong role, you have to work on it with all you’ve got. I followed the director’s [Prashanth Neel] vision for this character. We designed his look first. I gave a lot of suggestions to enhance the character,” Dutt adds, “He is menacing, but at the same time, humane [to some]. A lot of how Adheera has shaped up is from the energy that Yash and I brought to each scene. What a talent he is!”
