In an exclusive interview with a news organisation, Suniel Shetty opened up about how the makers of Darbar came up with his look for the role. The actor said that he started growing his hair for Markaar, whose director Priyan wanted Suniel to grown his hair as he was playing a warrior. He said that wearing a wig was not an option as it did not look authentic. Suniel wanted to avoid that fake look, so he told the filmmakers that he would grow his hair. So Suniel grew his hair to a great length and then the addition was very easy and he added that if you ever see Markaar you would never think that it is not his own hair.
