“Greg has directed two sword fighting sequences in PRDP for which I had to train for over a month in order to get the stance and wrist movements right,” said Mukesh. “He seemed pretty impressed with all the hard work I put in and made the offer when we were shooting for the climax scene a few months ago.”
