Unlike those movies where mythological characters would don costumes of a by-gone era, characters in the film are depicted in a more relatable manner for today’s audience. Both Om ji & Niharica have shared an amazing on-screen rapport and that was visible in real life too. They both enacted a small fight sequence for the guests. Also present were producers of the film – Upendra Maheshwari & Bobby Kanda.
Om Puri said, “The audience will get to see my role of a Yamraj in a different avatar. Also for the first time in my career, I have been kicked on-screen by a lady.” He further added, “But more than that they should watch the film for Niharica’s acting. She has performed all her action sequences without using a body double.”
Actress Niharica Raizada was quoted, “I am glad that Waarrior Savitri is my debut film as I got an opportunity to portray all kinds of emotions ranging from romance to action. I don’t think there could have been any other better debut than this.”
