Complementing the film’s intense, mythic atmosphere, Sidharth Nigam sports a rugged, unkempt look featuring long hair and a fur coat. These distinct character designs hint at the multifaceted conflicts and compelling character arcs within the story.
‘The Battle of Shatrughat’ is directed by Shahid Kazmi, with writing by Sajad Khaki and costumes by Darshan Kamwal. The team aims to deliver a visually stunning and emotionally resonant war saga that captivates viewers with its blend of historical grandeur and dramatic intensity. Gurmeet Choudhary has expressed his excitement, calling the film an ‘entirely new space’ for him and a ‘labour of love’ that perfectly blends love, war, historical elements, and drama. This marks a significant return to the costume drama genre for the actor.
