Talking about his return to action, Randeep Hooda said, "I have always loved action as a genre. There is something raw, visceral, and thrilling about it. After playing intense characters in biopics and embodying law enforcement roles, getting to unleash my dark side as the menacing Ranatunga in Jaat has been exhilarating. I had been missing action, and this film gave me the perfect opportunity to get back into that space. The choreography, the high-octane sequences, and the sheer physicality of the role—it has been a challenging yet fulfilling experience.”
