Says Dewan excitedly, “I could not refuse this offer. I have worked with Ashutosh in his debut film Pehla Nasha. This is a historical as well as a war saga. I am even using the support of computer gadgets in this film. Ashutosh has given me full liberty in this film, shooting for which is already in progress in Jaipur.”
