Here's the post

In the video, director Om Raut reveals how Ajay agreed instantly to back the movie when he pitched the idea in 2016. He also shares how being a Marathi, he was impressed by the story of warrior Tanaji Malusare’s battle against the Mughals to claim Kondhana.

The video also shows how the scenes come across on the monitor before it comes to life and gets enhanced with the use of visual effects. Prasad Sutar, who was the head in the department, said that Om had this idea five years back, after which they worked together to create the right designs and the look for the sets.
