Kabir Sawant, played by Amit Sadh, may be heavily muscled, but he lacks emotional stability. When he returns, the director has demonstrated that he is susceptible since ghosts from his previous life plague him. On the screen, Kabir gives us our dark side without caring about how the people in his immediate environment would respond to this aspect of ourselves.

Ali Fazal has always been praised for his acting abilities, and his portrayal of Guddu Bhaiya is a particularly memorable one. When he is vulnerable emotionally, there are situations in which the audience can readily see into his mind. After losing both his sibling and his lady love, he appears to be sobbing uncontrollably in a moment in the film. Although he is shown as someone who is out to pursue vengeance, his character may be seen to be in physical agony, which is understandable.
