The two-and-a-half minute video follows her journey from an amateur to being someone who was responsible to truly take on the role of a sportsperson on screen. She can be seen training like an athlete and follow a routine set by former Indian hockey captain Singh. She learned the basic nuances and etiquette of the sport for several weeks to ace her moves as well as the aesthetics before shooting for the film. Taapsee lauded Sandeep for his patience and approach while teaching a sport which she had never played before. She had earlier said on her social media that her dream had come true to learn and play the sport of hockey, given the fact that her father too was a hockey player back in his college days and had always found the sport inspiring.
