A production source informs, "Since the second schedule involves intense action scenes, a team of stunt trainers will be flown in from Germany to train Saif in sword fighting. He will need to become adept at using a firangi sword, essentially a double-edged sword. He will also brush up on his fencing skills. The team will kick off the lessons with Saif, before moving on to Ajay few weeks later."
It has been heard that the stunts of the Om Raut-directed movie are largely designed by action director Ramazan Bulut, who previously worked with Devgn on Shivaay (2016).
His resume also includes Hollywood projects Inferno (2015) and Rush (2012). The source adds, "The group includes Swen Raschka - who has worked on The Hunger Games series and V For Vendetta (2005) - and Tolga Degirmen, who has been part of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)." The piece de resistance will be the Battle of Sinhagad that had Tanaji taking on Rathod's army. "The climax will be shot only after the two actors master sword fighting."
