Both films starred Manoj Bajpayee, Piyush Mishra, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Pankaj Tripathi, Richa Chadha and Huma Qureshi in lead roles.
Actually the slaughterhouse scene was shot in a slaughterhouse in Prayagraj. Sultan Qureshi played by Pankaj Tripathi is the story of a fearsome butcher, who at the age of 12 can kill and skin a buffalo in a single day. Let us tell you that this scene was developed after seeing a boy doing this in real life. In the film, Sardar, Khan’s son Perpendicular and his friend are seen watching the 2003 film Munnabhai MBBS. Nawaz, who played the role of Perpendicular, was an unknown actor at the time and was also seen briefly in Sanjay Dutt’s Munnabhai.
