On the nature of Hunter:
"It's a difficult and challenging role. It's my most ambitious project till date. I don't think I have been a part of a film that has been made on this scale. It's about a fight between two brothers and my character. who's almost like an animal, fights for his rights".
On his character:
"I play a Naga Sadhu. I have been growing hair and beard. As the story is set against a war backdrop, I had to learn sword fighting and different forms of action. There's a lot of post-production and VFX work involved in this project as it will have many war sequences".
On replacing R Madhavan in the film
"It would have been great if both of us starred in the film, but he injured himself two days before the shoot. So, we had to finalise Manav Vij. He’s fantastic in the movie".
Saif had recently announced the second film in the Go Goa Gone franchise. The cast of the film would largely be the same as that of the previous one.
