Reports indicate that the film centers on C. Sankaran Nair's pivotal struggle against the British Empire, particularly focusing on his involvement in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre case. Ananya Panday plays a budding lawyer, sharing the screen with Akshay Kumar, who portrays a respected senior lawyer.
Their relationship is built on mentorship rather than romance. The movie explores the historical and legal intricacies surrounding the Jallianwala Bagh incident, highlighting Nair's significant efforts and the obstacles he faced in seeking justice against British colonialism.
Last year, the cast completed an extensive shooting schedule in Delhi before moving to Rewari district in Haryana for key sequences. Notably, filming took place at Rewari railway station and the Rewari Railway Heritage Museum.
