Ajay said it was his dream to make a big Hollywood-like spectacle film. "When we used to watch and discuss Hollywood films, we would wonder why we do not have such technology. We had dreamt to make a film that will stand on par with them and tell them, 'Look the budget of our films is half of what you make but our quality is same'. We have technicians and if in this budget we can make something like this, it is good. Earlier we did not have the technology but we have that today."
