Khanna sports a salt-and-pepper hairdo in the first look released by the filmmakers. “I am thrilled and excited to be a part of a venture which will be path-breaking and a game-changer on many levels,” Khanna told the tabloid. “Having a role in the film is secondary. I think it is an important movie and even if my role in it was insignificant, I would have still done it.”
