"Akshay Kumar's character in 'Rustom' demands a completely new avatar. Ameira Punvani who is the costume designer has already begun work on Akshay's look. Though we can't reveal much, the role is something that he has never played before," Bhatia added.

The music of the film has been composed by Ankit Tiwari with Santosh Thundiyil as the cinematographer.
