Sanjay Dutt is cast in a negative role as Ahm Shah Abdali, king of Afghanistan. A year ago, it was reported that Sanjay Dutt is going on a special diet for this role. This diet reportedly consisted of fewer carbs and fats and is more rich in protein like chicken, sals, and fish. actor has to wear heavy costumes in movie, for which actor was making sure that he is eating right and following a rigorous workout routine on sets. Reports suggest that Sanjay Dutt has undergone costume, hair and make-up trials, and his bald look in several social events is alrey receiving immense attention from audience.

Sanjay Dutt has earlier worked as a villain in movies like Agneepath in 2012 and Musafir. 2019-20 are favourable years for actor, as he is juggling with multiple movie releases. Be it Kalank or Prassthanam, fans believe that Sanjay Dutt is proving his ability by doing eugh justice to his role. He has more movies lined up to be released in upcoming months. actor is currently enjoying success of his recent release, Prassthanam. He played role of a successful politician who struggles with his personal life issues in this movie. Sanjay Dutt’s personality is nearly relevant to heavy roles, proved by his past role selections. Ahm Shah Abdali is again a role with a lot of weight to its personality, and we can expect a high power performance from Afghan king. However, Sanjay's look is still unrevealed. movie also has Zeenat Aman and Kriti San as Sakina Begum and Parvati Bai respectively.
