Mentor’s Advice Prompted Javed Khan to Accept Controversial Role

During a period of doubt, Khan turned to his mentor, Saty Sabarwal, with whom he had previously collaborated on a G5 project. He laid out all his fears, and the mentor reminded him that an actor's duty is to embody a character truthfully, not to pass moral judgement on it. The guidance convinced Khan that if his performance was sincere, audiences would remember his skill rather than the villainous nature of the role.
