Lootere’ director Jai Mehta has shed light on shooting on a ship for the series, revealing that the actor Vivek Gomber shot an intense firing scene with a pulled muscle and a cut on his leg.
Shooting on a ship presented a lot of challenges for the cast and crew, and reflecting on the same, Jai said: “Shooting is very demanding and difficult on a ship. The ships look nice and big but they’re at times claustrophobic and slippery because they’re made of metal and the surface is dewy most of the time.”

Hansal Mehta, the showrunner of ‘Lootere’, said: “The biggest challenge was to make a series like Lootere on such scale within a budget. How does one achieve a story like this with a scale like this without going overboard with the cost, without compromising on the storytelling, and without compromising on the director’s vision.”
“Without it compromising on how Jai wanted to tell the story? My role was primarily to see that Jai’s larger vision did not get compromised because of any constraints and that he can tell the story freely.”
He added: “So I was there in the role of somebody who used all the tricks in the Indian filmmaking book.

Har Har Mahadev is a narrative that leaves the audience spell bound with the raw display of bravery, faith, discipline, morals, dignity and above all – love for thy motherland. We have heard quite a few chapters from the history of Maharashtra and the great Marathas. Har Har Mahadev is yet another chapter from the many stories of bravery and valour. It re-instils the sense of patriotism and respect for those who did not blink before laying down their lives for the freedom of the motherland. We have read, heard, and seen stories about the freedom struggle, but what you see here is raw and has multiple layers in the struggle itself. Har Har Mahadev becomes the third film of 2022, based on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and the establishment of the Hindavi Swarajya, the earlier two being Pawankhind and Sarsenapati Hambirrao.
