Their on-screen dynamic reflects a deep sense of mutual support and patriotism as they navigate through challenging situations to protect their country.
Reflecting on his experience with Hrithik Roshan, Mahesh shared, “In the Air Force lexicon, a Wingman is a pilot who flies alongside the leader of a flying formation providing mutual support, so their bonding is always on another level. This was the brief where we started from, and hence Hrithik and I started bonding well before the shoot began.” Mahesh further expressed admiration for Hrithik’s genuine nature, describing him as sweet, humorous, and incredibly down-to-earth. Despite Hrithik’s superstar status, Mahesh emphasized that there were no airs or tantrums on set, making the entire team feel like one big family.
