As he said: “I have idolised Ajay Devgn for long and literally have grown up seeing him on the screen and an opportunity to work with him is what made me take up Bhuj and it was an exhilarating experience to work with him.”

He shared: “I have never played a role like this before and working with such a talented cast was really special. The film made me know so much more about the armed forces and my respect for them has increased manifold.”
Mahesh said portraying these kinds of roles is always tough and full of challenges.
