At the trailer launch of `Chhaava,` the makers shared a humorous story about casting Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb. Director Laxman Utekar recalled Khanna`s initial reaction, which was quite surprising. However, he was soon convinced when Utekar read the script to him in the style of how he envisioned Aurangzeb’s dialogue. Utekar praised working with Khanna, describing it as a wonderful experience, though he couldn’t attend the event due to prior commitments.
