Adding to the same, Riteish revealed that he has been approached with different scripts inspired by Vilasrao Deshmukh's life, however, it is difficult to show all aspects of the former-Chief Minister's life in a two-hour film. Moreover, Riteish revealed that he will proceed with the concept further if something interesting comes up. Furthermore, Riteish added that if the film's subject is close to one's heart, people tend to lose objectivity in creation, which ends up making the film boring.
