Hashmi said Gunmaaster G9 gave him the opportunity to explore a different side of his acting career, with the role requiring extensive physical preparation.
“I'm known for playing characters who have often found themselves in dangerous situations, but Gunmaaster G9 takes that to another level. This time, I am not just reacting to the danger; I am right in the middle of the action,” he said in a statement.
The actor underwent an intensive training programme involving martial arts, gun shooting and preparation for physically demanding stunts.
He added that he wanted the action sequences to look convincing while allowing audiences to see a side of him they had not experienced before.
