Talking about how he bagged the role, Bimal said, "I auditioned multiple times over a few months. They would send it for feedback, call me again, it went back and forth. Then I met Aditya Dhar, and he asked me to grow a real beard and shave my head. I said yes immediately because it's such an amazing role. A lot of preparation went into it. Since I restarted acting in 2018, this became a very important opportunity for me."He also opened up about working with Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar: The Revenge and praised the actor’s involvement on set. He said, "Ranveer was so much into the film; he owned it. During the shoot, he wasn't only Hamza, he would also be the first AD, he would also be the producer, making sure that if somebody new had joined the production, because I had joined quite late, everything was taken care of. On my first day, we had a very emotional conversation before a crucial scene. He made sure everything around me was perfect. That ice-breaking is very important. Though he is younger, he came across like a senior professional. That made the scene like a cakewalk, there was no inhibition after that."In Dhurandhar, Bimal mostly had scenes with Akshaye Khanna, as his character introduced him with the title of Sher-E-Baloch. In Dhurandhar: The Revenge, after Rehman Dakait’s death, Shirani passes on that title to Ranveer Singh’s character, Hamza Ali Mazari.
