He said, “Most of the time, I was bare-bodied because I was playing a sadhu, Vishwamitra. So that was a good thing. But the hair and the beard that I had to wear were quite heavy. It took one-and-a-half hours just to put on the wig and the beard.”Ranbir Kapoor’s heavy crown and costume Ajinkya admitted that the costumes were a challenge for many other actors, including Ranbir.

Sharing what he saw on the sets, he said, “For the rest of the guys, yes, it was a challenge. I know for a fact that for Ram, it was a little troublesome wearing the crown and the whole get-up. He used to get up and be like, ‘Oh my God!’ It used to be heavy.
