Expressing gratitude towards the inspirational story and the guidance and support he received to play his part, the actor wrote "I wanna take this moment to thank the man who made it possible. Had it not been for his struggles, we would have not had a show to make. IPS Amit Lodha, thank you for your efforts, for the life you lived, that I got to emulate your life on celluloid. I’m forced indebted to you sir, not only as an actor but also as citizen, who feels safe and secure because of men and women like you in uniform. Jai Hind."
Karan displayed his commitment and dedication to his craft by transforming himself mentally as well as physically to fit into the role. From gaining weight and sporting a moustache, to learning and acing the mannerisms of a police office, Karan left no stone unturned to slip into the skin of his character.
